Studies

Professors are supportive,and also guides students to better understanding of the concepts. But most of the time they are helping. There is also Case-Studies that helps us get better insights of real life cases.

Good eduction, excellent research, could care more for its students

I study physics. The education is really good as far as I can judge on it. The variety of research fields is gigantic and the reputation is excellent. The city is awesome, too. I only give 4 stars because the university does not care for any student organisations or student life at all.

Well structured course

Basically, it’s a private university with a good reputation and also the lecturers are well educated and helpful. The course contains 60% of management-related modules and the remaining technical modules. For anyone who is searching for a techno-management course, I would suggest Hochschule Fresenius.

The cultural mix and the great atmosphere.

I loved being at Schiller in Heidelberg. The setting and the city were very serene and the exposure to all those students and teachers from such different and diverse backgrounds was a great learning experience. Additionally, the ease of accessing the Schiller campuses in the other countries was a great additional bonus to studying at Schiller. I would most definitely recommend Schiller to other students who are looking for a very culturally fulfilling experience.

Best Varsity

This was the best Varsity ever. The professionalism is on the high level. I have no dislikes and I highly recommend it to people who are struggling with focus. It's takes special students with disabilities.
