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.

Esic university Valencia is the worst university ever 😡

Worst university ever, I’m an İNTERNATİONAL student who came just for one semester for ERASMUS from another institution. It was the worst experience ever in my life, Esic university treated me so badly. The ERASMUS coordinator is really disrespectful and he didn’t even do a welcoming day for the new students. We didn’t get any training on how we can adapt to the university's system. First, they told us it is a hybrid system, which is not the case. This is the first lie from a higher education institution. They are really trying to push me to fail administration and also teachers I really feel it’s a religious problem about where I come from , plus I did all of my exams perfectly. Now I’m surprised that one teacher wants me to fail because I didn’t do one exercise ( just one in all semester lol) , my exam was perfect now she doesn’t want to show me my results and told me that she will make me fail because of one exercise. It is not fair and no one from the administration wants to help me as an Erasmus student, but I feel there is a difference between me and Spanish nationalities. Now I will take my legal right. They really discriminated against me in every way I’m really sad how I got used and treated this badly and also this issue has now become a personal issue, I really don’t recommend any İNTERNATİONAL students to join ESIC Valencia it’s the worst university on planet earth 😡

University Review

Excellent university, with experienced professors, professionals in the areas they teach and with an incomparable teacher-student proximity.It is a very good university for International students since thet offer Portuguese classes and some subjects are in English. In terms of infrastructure, despite being small and not having all the conditions and equipment, it brings together a pleasant environment for studying - in addition to very good cleaning conditions and modern rooms. At the administrative level, it is organized. As for the students, many are very interested in being there, excellent students and enormous dedication.

Cultural diversity

It is a university that brings together many exchange students, you could say more than 700 people. Therefore there is the possibility of generating an approach with different cultures and meeting people. The problem is that the university does not understand that a foreign person does not know anything about the university and they should provide information regarding all types, explaining how the schedules are chosen, what the internship process is like, what apps or websites they use, etc. .

A good choice for hospitality

The college comes up in the top most colleges for hospitality related courses in the world. Les Roches has excellent links in the hospitality industry and has partnered with some major brands. The teachers are very friendly and professional at the same time. The college offers a limited range of courses for undergrads and post grads but the 5 year undergrad course is more beneficial to take up if you want to acquire proper knowledge and skills that are required for this industry. There are other courses also related to marketing that the college has recently introduced but these courses are not successful at all. All in all, its a good college to get into for an undergrad degree if you want to establish your career in the HOTEL industry.

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.

Loving it here!

Being here has been such a wild ride. Moving to a new country every semester and learning local languages has been both fun and challenging, but it's kinda exhausting too. Still, that hustle gives me an adrenaline rush I low-key love! The best part has been seeing our business ideas come to life and when people genuinely appreciate and engage with something we’ve built, it makes all the hard work worth it.
