Good for locals, poor management for international students

The university brands itself as the third-best in China. While the classes in English are quite good (and probably easier than those for Chinese students taught in Chinese) all the management for foreign students is very poor and does not represent that of such a prestigious university. Most relevant information, such as those related to the thesis and graduation processes are usually only shared in WeChat groups instead of via mail or a meeting. What’s more, it happens that the management and teachers do not recognize if foreign students received that information. That management is far from professional and causes a lot of unnecessary effort and frustration to us foreign students.

Schellhammer Business School is a complete scam.

They market themselves as a legitimate university, but it's nothing more than a money-making scheme. I enrolled in the Master of Arts in International Relations, only to arrive and find that the entire course syllabus had been changed, without any prior notice. The new content had nothing to do with my field of study. When I confronted the administration, they brushed it off as “normal.” Only after I threatened legal action did they even pretend to care. They quickly threw together a “new” syllabus to appease me, but it was a joke. The professors ignored it entirely and taught whatever they felt like. To make matters worse, I was the only student in the program. When I asked about it, the head of studies just shrugged and said these things happen. In the second semester, two more students joined, barely enough to call it a class. Over time, we discovered that everyone was paying wildly different tuition fees. They hide this by handing out so-called "scholarships," but it’s just a pricing manipulation strategy. If you're from a wealthier country, they assume you can pay full price. Meanwhile, students from Africa were paying as little as €1,000 for the entire year, while others from Germany were charged the full €10,000+, and students from Poland or Italy somewhere in between. The "scholarship" has nothing to do with need or merit, just how much they think they can get out of you. The extra charges are endless. They claim student housing is near the school, but it’s far enough that you’re forced to pay an outrageously expensive fee for their private school bus. They find any excuse to squeeze more money out of you. The administration is a mess. Every person you speak to gives you different information about courses, events, transportation, and rules. There's zero coordination. The atmosphere is miserable. No one wants to be there, not the students, staff, nor teachers. The teachers are completely unqualified. They throw up poorly made PowerPoint presentations riddled with grammar errors, copy-pasted from textbooks, and then read them out loud. They don’t answer questions properly, they lack any mastery of the subject, and they’re totally unprepared to teach at the master's level and university level. This program didn’t challenge me, didn’t teach me, and didn’t prepare me. I learned nothing of value. If I hadn’t enrolled, I would be in the exact same place. Avoid this school at all costs.
