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.

Up to date equipment

There are superior facilities at the FH Aachen. The tutorial halls and classes are sophisticated, equipped with the the current and innovative equipment, and the library is large and well-stocked. To guarantee that students have a positive college experience, the educational facility also offers a range of extracurricular activities and events.

Great University in an Awesome City

I studied for 4 months in MBS (I did my Erasmus there) and I have nothing but good and kind words for this place. Their methodology is much different than what I was used to in Barcelona: all the classes were practical, with little or none theory explained and everything explained through real-case scenarios or simulations. The fact that the teachers were, most of the times, business men and women that where working part-time as teachers, allowed students to learn current hot topics that were trending on some kinds of industry. Some of the subjects have no exams and instead they have a final project (for example, International Business Project of HR Management) that has to be done in groups, allowing yourself to develop teambuilding and teamworking skills. Also, the fact that classes are quite small allow for a better teacher-student communication. Other than that, the Erasmus Programme of this university is quite recognized worldwide, making students not just from Europe, but from the world, to go to study in MBS. The variety of cultures and people that you meet allow for a more, better open-minded way of thinking. Something I would recommend: International Business Project class and HR Management. Also, German can be learned in different levels according to your skills. Something that I did not like that much: the wifi was quite slow and it was hard to connect to sometimes. Hope they have improved it!

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.
