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.

Disappointing and frustrating

I am a recent graduate of this university and overall, I would not recommend this university to anyone looking to continue their education. Many of my classmates and I had consistent issues with the administration that hindered our learning and dampened our experience. When we tried to propose changes or discuss problems, the administration was not open to working with us. Response times were lengthy and grading was subjective, with no true transparency into how they were determined. This made many of us afraid to speak up, which is why I am doing so now, after I have secured my diploma today. The biggest disappointment for me was the lack of career services. Since this was heavily marketed to me when I was considering this school, I was shocked to learn there is no career office, no career fairs, and no real effort to connect students with alumni who could help us advance our careers. When I approached the administration about the career fair issue, they claimed that career fairs were only possible with the help of student council and that no students had run for a position this year. This was shocking news to me since the school did not hold an Autumn student council election and the Spring election took place less than 2 months before 21 of the 23 students were graduating, thus students would not have been able to make any real change in their remaining time. In my time at SUMAS I did learn a lot and was fortunate to have some great professors who equipped me with knowledge and tools for my career, and I am grateful to them. However, the quality of the education does not outweigh all of the issues we experienced which is why I do not recommend this school to others. ** carefully read their accreditation because they are not accredited by any of the big accreditation organizations that are widely recognized
