Alba Graduate Business School
speciality: Human Resources

I highly recommend Alba, not only for Greek students but for international students as well! I am a current international student at Alba, and my expectations are already exceeded.

Presentation skills, writing skills, networking skills, etc. These are a few examples of what I have learned (On top of my HR courses) by just being a student at Alba.
Theories are great, but knowing how to use your critical thinking to apply them is what I am being taught to master.

In my opinion the fact that Alba is different from other colleges is, first of all, because of the professors expertise. The facilities, the courses’ content and the flexible schedules of the courses are other main advantages of the school. At Alba you are offered with personalized services to help you refine your career vision and identify any program that is suitable for you. I also like the “preparation” before you start a program in which you can experience a real class before the application and you can also develop a personalized payment scheme for your studies.

I was an exchange student in ALBA, Greece from sep’19 to nov’19. The school is nice and the administration of the school helped me get on board immediately. They were welcoming as well as caring to our schedules. The course “strategic human resource management” gave me an international perspective of the things I was studying back in India. Quantitative tools in finance, a technical subject was taught with such an ease that I developed the skill for life long. The professor were all well qualified and their teaching methodology was on spot.

STUDENT LIFE
As an Alba student, I feel really excited to be part of this community. However, when my colleagues at work or friends of mine are asking me about my experience as a student, I tell them that I feel like I am in an “Educational Army”!
The educational demands are so high and the time is restricted. So, as a student, you have to study quickly and moreover methodically to have the desired results. Although Alba gives many sources to use for your study, it is so difficult to be oriented toward it if you are working at the same time. Therefore, it is critical to attend the courses in order to gain knowledge and to spend less time studying at the weekends. Moreover, you have the chance to interact with foreign students who visited Alba for specific courses. Finally, I would like to state that companies prefer to recruit Alba students due to this “Educational Army”. Particularly, a Chief Recruiter told me: “We recruit Alba students because they promise speedy work! They are ready for the working environment!”.

FACILITIES
I have a little experience with the Alba facilities as I have a laptop and printer and a quiet place to study. So, I have not made use of the library or rooms with PCs. However, when I worked in a room with my team to prepare a task, the facilities were satisfying and covered our needs in terms of technology. Also, the ACG e-library is very helpful and provides many sources with texts. Moreover, the classrooms are clean and you attend the courses comfortably. Finally, I find the restaurant’s products adequate.

PROFESSORS EXPERTISE
All the Professors have great citations and they are reputed. All of them have remarkable expertise in the global environment and they are really willing to transfer their knowledge and experiences. However, I have noticed that some of the professors are more theoretical and they transfer to students more of their academic knowledge than their working experiences.

COURSES CONTENT
The textbooks and all the material used by professors respond to the content of the course. The presentations are of high level and the case studies help students to embed the subject that each course discusses.

– Friendly environment (students + staff)
– Career prospects (support + network)
– Many activities & events (help students understand what happens in real life)
– Good structure of the program (based on the current needs/trends/etc)

Alba is a great investment, worth every penny. They prepare us for the market not only through enriching courses but also through workshops. We literally graduate with everything we need to land successful careers. The professors are experts in their fields. The facilities are easy to access, library, computer labs, study rooms for team or individual projects. The people in the administration are very helpful and proactive. I highly recommend it.

The curriculum of the program is great and up-to-date, following market trends. The professors are always willing to help and very responsive to students’ concerns. And the career office is one of the biggest assets of the university!

Meets the european standards. In the center of the town. Convinient transport. International lessons. Mandatory lessons. Proffessors from the highest rated universities. Recognized diplomas. A very good university

In 2017, I decided to make a swift in my career and for the first time to deal with Human Resource Management. In the same year, I had the opportunity to join the HR team of AXA and became part of a cutting-edge and up-to-date department with excellent professionals following market trends. Along with the support and training offered by my colleagues, I was needed a solid theoretical knowledge in the field to achieve my business goals in the key areas of my responsibility: Compensation

Instead of studying abroad you can study in Greece in an innovative business school. Market oriented, strong reputation in labour market, hundreds of alumni in middle level and managerial positions – considering that the school has 30 years of life and small classes.
