My little experience in CBS business school

I've had a good experience so far while I've been studying at CBS. However, the majority of students are of German nationality, while there are also students from other nations. If you're feeling under the weather or don't feel like going to school, they provide a blended learning option that allows you to stay at home and participate in the class simultaneously online. The campus in Cologne is not particularly cutting-edge, but I've heard that the campus in Mainz is more or less cutting-edge and attractive. The instructors and departmental officials are all cordial. The School encourages pupils to participate in a variety of sports because it values a healthy balance between work and recreation. As a result of CBS's partnerships with various significant businesses, the School is able to maintain its curricula current with the needs of the modern business world. Additionally, partnerships allow CBS to give its students greater options for internships and professional experience. By participating in business projects in collaboration with well-known companies, students can also gain important information and skills.

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.

For the love of Schiller

Schiller university is the best thing that can ever happen to anyone l will never regret the day l applied and l mostly love their campus in Germany it has nice aesthetics and obviously l love their culture

Fascinating experience

Excellent small school with a strong focus on technology and entrepreneurship; small classes; personal experience with lecturers and staff; well-designed curriculum; good lectures and interesting guest lecturers; a lot of traveling if you don't live in Hamburg's south, but manageable for three semesters; excellent value for money compared to UK/US schools, even without receiving one of the many scholarships; financial breakeven in less than two years; well-known in northern Germany, but now more so in central Europe; each class has one or two larger successful startups, with founders frequently giving lectures on campus; the alumni network feels more like a family than a pure "business network"; the new CEO is driving growth; and there are plenty of opportunities and support provided for extracurricular activities, initiatives, etc.
