An amazing experience!

I love the quality of education I received at Bocconi. Having previously studied Management back in Turkey, coming here to do my masters in Marketing Management allowed me to get much more specialisation regarding my field. I got to know more about the data side of marketing, which brought me a whole other perspective. The school itself has many opportunities to make your university life the best possible experience. I enjoyed the seminars held, the extracurricular activities carried out, the opportunities to join an association, and have also been staying in one of the residences of Bocconi, which has made my life so much easier. Overall, I can say that both in terms of the education I got and the campus life Bocconi provided me, I am very satisfied with everything.

intriguing, growth stimulator:University of Milan

What makes my university special? The people. At the University of Milan, you are not just a student number - you are part of a supportive community that genuinely wants you to succeed. They have every resource imaginable to help you get through that graduation phase. From the beautiful campus (seriously, it is breathtaking) to the warm and welcoming atmosphere, every day here is rewarding. The classes actually make you want to participate, and the professors go above and beyond to make learning exciting. I wouldn't trade my experience here for anything in the world.

A recent drop out

1. Kindly note, it is a registered private school only, but the degrees are school-issued, not officially recognized Swiss university degrees. They are relying on the entry-tier US accreditor ACBSP itself, which is well below AACSB/EQUIS/AMBA/HEdA accreditation. So please do not be confused thinking it is a proper Swiss university. 2. Actually the school is more like a small company only, having less than 5 staff members on site. And one thing I must tell, before enrollment they are very friendly, but after joining the friendliness is finishing. 3. In the classes there are hardly 5 students at master's and bachelor's level, and many times nobody is even coming to the campus. On top of that, the teachers/staffs seemed to get fired in the middle of the semester itself. 4. One more important thing , the grades are coming from the the founder or staffs directly, very subjective and no transparency at all. The professors are not even having the right to decide the final grade!! How can this be acceptable, I am asking? 5. Now they have started selling online courses also. So I will not be surprised if one fine day they are closing the campus fully and doing only online business.

Would undoubtedly choose it again if I had to

Personally, I am quite happy with my choice to come to study at Humanitas University and would do so again if I had to. It is by no means a perfect university, it is currently going through some 'growing pains' that result in disorganization, some professors are better than others, etc. However, it's a new university that is growing, the hospital is right next to it, the facilities are new and excellent, there is a lot of support for international students, etc. In my opinion, the pros heavily outweigh the cons.

A place for opportunities!

I completed both my Bachelor’s (Triennale) and Master’s (Magistrale) degrees in Biotechnology. Being in a small class was really helpful. It made communication between students and professors much easier. Also, the program offers a one-year internship packed with opportunities! .
