The best university in the world

My experience with IU is very wonderful and exceptional. The learning process is smooth and easy especially for online students and the exams are well tailored to test your knowledge on what you have been learning. It is quite great indeed.

A perfect blend of European and American education system. Best of both worlds but relatively immature and new

The university provides you with whatever an American system can offer - transdisciplinary courses throughout your 3 years embedded with the American Liberal Arts mandatory language module combination. Side by side with an intense standard European Education system compliant 3 year program.

Second to First: Discovering Excellence at NEC

Initially, NEC was not my first choice of university, but one of the top three when choosing a master programme. This was due to a specific programme I was searching for not being offered. As my enquiry progressed, this university quickly became my first choice. The staff was very responsive and fast, made up of some of the kindest people I have met. They were able to guide me through the process and answer all the questions I had. Further, the chancellor has been very hands on from the beginning of the journey, with an open inbox and an open door. He is able to help his students not only in relation to the university but any guidance which is needed for students in a new city or country. The professors chosen have been a part of NEC for many years and bring a wide variety of industry knowledge. Their unique master programme has been exciting, interesting and relevant to the current day scenarios. It has been the right amount of challenging but all worth it. The environment is one of the most welcoming and supportive that I have ever experienced, and I would recommend New European College to anyone who is passionate about their future and education.
