A controversy university

I am personally studying in Administration and international exchanges, in my 3rd year and I have been experiencing a lot of things in this university. Indeed, it is important to know that I have been a student during the Covid period, a hard time for everyone. Out of this, I would like to specify that there are very very interesting teachers who made me happy about going to class, I mean they are not just reading a PowerPoint, they are dedicated to their students, particularly my Spanish teacher, he is the only one really invested in our orientation, and I mean I am on my 3rd year, I had to choose where to go for next year and he was the only one to guide us a little bit, the black point is that with him we don't have a really organised class, but to me it was ok, I enjoyed it because he was no simply telling facts but taking real-life experiences and I really enjoyed it. In addition, during my first year, I had a very funny but interesting teacher, English teacher, kind of crazy, teaching us about market stocks... I really enjoyed my classes with him, same thing, he was INTERESTING, DYNAMIC. There are also other teachers that really great but I mean these two are REALLY nice to study with. The drawbacks of this university are that there is no organisation, we received the exams information less than one week before it started one time. Then, we normally have a referent teacher for each Parcours, I have NEVER seen mine in all my time at university, and I am not someone who misses classes a lot. I am disappointed about her because, I mean hopefully our Spanish teacher was here to inform us and help us not to miss some deadlines, important information... The biggest advantage of this university is that I had the opportunity to go for an Erasmus in the Czech Republic, for a semester and it was absolutely amazing, nothing bad to say about that, administrative persons were really reactive and efficient. The only little black point is that I basically applied to go to a university in Prague, and I was selected by BRNO. How was that possible? I don't know but I was determined to go, and I was right, it was amazing, I really recommend to all students to take the opportunities they are offered. Anyway, to sum up, this is a nice university, we don't have a huge amount of work to do, there is opportunities but you have to stay in touch with all going on and take as much opportunities as you can. Don't wait for your grades to arrive early because they will not. But enjoy and use the information transmitted by your teachers.

A formative and enriching experience

IÉSEG offers interactive teaching and international opportunities. I had the chance to go on an exchange to another country, which opened up new perspectives for me. The courses in Lille are stimulating, and the professors are very involved in our success.

The cultural mix and the great atmosphere.

I loved being at Schiller in Heidelberg. The setting and the city were very serene and the exposure to all those students and teachers from such different and diverse backgrounds was a great learning experience. Additionally, the ease of accessing the Schiller campuses in the other countries was a great additional bonus to studying at Schiller. I would most definitely recommend Schiller to other students who are looking for a very culturally fulfilling experience.

Valuable networking

I found a tight-knit community at Ecole Vatel, with valuable networking and experiential learning opportunities. The intimate setting allows professors to tailor their guidance, equipping students with applicable knowledge and skills. This personalized approach motivated me to reach my full potential and feel better about transitioning into the workforce.
