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.

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.
