Amazing focus on networking and employment at the cost of theorical knowledge

I liked this programme for three main reasons. Firstly, the sense of community you get over the short (1-year) MIM programme is outstanding. The school provides students with daily opportunities to get together and you get really well integrated in a matter of days. Second, the school's utmost priority is your employement. LBS possesses a great career centre that constantly pushes you to look for job opportunities and provides you with great interview trainings. Finally, I believe that only 5% of the students come from the UK, meaning that the school is fully international. On the other hand, from a knowledge perspective, I would not expect to learn much from the main courses if you already have a Bachelor in Business or Economics. The secondary courses you can choose from are, however, really handy. Thanks to its broad focus, this programme excels at preparing you for careers in Consulting or Investment Banking. It is also well recognized worldwide. To sum up, I would recommend this programme for international outgoing individuals who would like to pursue a career in Consulting or Investment Banking.

DIVERSITY

One of my favourite aspects about Hult is its diversity. By meeting people from all over the world with diverse histories and customs, you can get a sense of what their home nations are like. I also enjoy the help the staff provides every step of the way.

Human Geography

The course and it's syllabus can be super interesting and fun but most of the lecturers are trash. They show no enthusiasm to teach and deliver lectures as if they were eulogies. Which is a shame, I feel the only thing holding back KU is the lack of enthusiasm.

Learning in a practical way

This university has a lot of qualities such as adapting to students in order to optimize learning, and the desire to confront the student as quickly as possible with the world of work. On the other hand, I would criticize this school for poorly disseminated information and a gloomy community life.

The amazing professors/teachers there!

First of all since my campus was in the heart of Rome, the place and inside of the university was like a whole museum. I love how friendly and helpful the staff was, the professors were one in a million. I love how they did all their best to tell us about the subjects in detail and in a fun way with examples for us to get into it more. I liked how they make time and engage in it and actually help us to teach us, so it was all in one reading writing with our own brain and infos searching for the sources by ourselves listening but also being able to express our own way of knowledge on the topics!
