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.

Class of 2018, Int'l Business Administration

Studying at Skema Business School in Sophia Antipolis was a fantastic experience. The campus is modern and located in a wonderful tech hub. The professors bring real-world business experience to the classroom. I loved the multicultural environment and the group projects. Skema gave me great friends, a strong global network, and the right skills for my career.

Focus on multicultural business management

I have been quite satisfied by the quality of teaching at Audencia. The lecturers and professors are knowledgeable and place an emphasis on professionalism and leveraging culture in business dealings.

Excellent Experience at IDRAC

I am a Chinese student and I completed my MBA in Business Engineering at IDRAC Business School and the experience has been excellent. The program fully met my expectations. The professors are very approachable, supportive, and always available. I truly appreciated the strong sense of guidance and personal support throughout the course. Highly recommended!

Great modern university approach

I am currently a 3rd year student at Forward College and I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to other students. The interactive approach of Forward where questions, debate, and discussion were encouraged enhanced my learning so much and I feel like I genuinely enjoyed every class. Having the experience of living in 3 different cultures, surrounded by people from all over the world made this experience even more special and helped me develop and grow in so many ways. Another aspect I have loved are the professors. Speaking with friends at other university I am so grateful to have teachers that actually know us, are excited to teach and interact with us, and will always take the time to help you.
