Professor and teaching style

Although I earned my bachelor degree at the University of York in UK, it was quite theoretical. I really started to bridge the learning gap between theory and practice only when I started to pursue my master degree in Business Analytics and Data Science at EU Business School in Barcelona. What stands out most in my current program is the university’s strong emphasis on practical experience. Our professors are not only scholars but also are successful business managers and data experts, as they are either the owners of successful organizations or individuals who took on top management roles in large corporations. Their teachings are more than just the syllabus in, they also provide personal experience in the area of niche markets, provide best practices in an industry, and always provoke our thinking with regard to the existing trends in higher education, business strategy, and innovation.

University Review

Excellent university, with experienced professors, professionals in the areas they teach and with an incomparable teacher-student proximity.It is a very good university for International students since thet offer Portuguese classes and some subjects are in English. In terms of infrastructure, despite being small and not having all the conditions and equipment, it brings together a pleasant environment for studying - in addition to very good cleaning conditions and modern rooms. At the administrative level, it is organized. As for the students, many are very interested in being there, excellent students and enormous dedication.

Nothing to show

Terrible service. They only want money

First, since I asked for information for the ELE Master, I had the advisor constantly pressuring me to decide, to enroll, to PAY, to sign... she would not leave me alone for a day. Up to that point, I didn't like it, but I thought, well, it was their way of selling, 1st red flag. 2nd red flag: When signing the registration on the platform, they asked me if I agreed with the conditions, but the conditions did not appear anywhere, to which I told the advisor that I could not sign a document where they asked me if I agree to the conditions that are not explained to me. She responded by saying that there was "nothing strange", and that the conditions were that I was going to study at the university, and I was surprised that a supposedly serious institution believes that one must accept the conditions that they tell you orally, is it Seriously?, 3rd red flag. However, I wanted to continue trusting (silly me) and I signed. However, I told advisor Pilar Fuentes that, as a suggestion, the conditions should be explicitly described in that document, to which she did not respond anything, nor to my question about what the next step was. Two days passed and still no response. I asked him again what the next step was and three days later he responded: "Hello, how can I help you?" As if he didn't know me, I repeated the question again, which remained unanswered for two more days, that is, 5 in total. (4th red flag), clearly showing that this university only cares about PROFIT. Once they take money from you, they forget. During those days, another person already sent me the "20 installments" in which I had to pay, which surprised me again because no one asked me how I was going to pay. When I asked this person about it, he told me I had SIGNED for 20 installments... (5th red flag). What other surprise were they going to come up with that I had signed? But of course, it was my mistake to accept what the advisor told me. When I wrote to this advisor again to tell her that she couldn't believe that she still hadn't answered me after 5 days and that she wasn't going to give another cent to this university, she just reacted with a not very credible excuse. I demanded the return of MY money (290 USD) and despite the fact that I explained to them in the discharge department that I had completely lost confidence in the institution due to lack of professionalism and transparency, and despite the fact that I offered to give them details of what happened, little They didn't care and told me they wouldn't give me ANYTHING back. In other words, I confirmed the advisor's attitude, but that this is a problem not only for her, but also for an institutional problem. The least you expect when you complain about a terrible service is that the person providing said service is a little embarrassed and at least returns the money that is not theirs. But hey, let it benefit them. As for me, I will tell all my colleagues about this terrible experience so that they can look for a university that is worth it. And I hope my review helps others not to fall into the trap.

For the love of Schiller

Schiller university is the best thing that can ever happen to anyone l will never regret the day l applied and l mostly love their campus in Germany it has nice aesthetics and obviously l love their culture

Loving it here!

Being here has been such a wild ride. Moving to a new country every semester and learning local languages has been both fun and challenging, but it's kinda exhausting too. Still, that hustle gives me an adrenaline rush I low-key love! The best part has been seeing our business ideas come to life and when people genuinely appreciate and engage with something we’ve built, it makes all the hard work worth it.

Masters international Management

I enjoyed this programe, academically is it similar to other programs in other cities but it offers so much more. The personal connection with professors, strong guidance for future career and the international network is what separates it from other options!
