ADE Course

Classes are good, I would try to make them more interactive and with more practices in class. Professors normally are good, in the english course I believe the english of the teachers could be better specially if the course is taught in that language. I also believe professors could interact more with their students and try to get in contact with students they see may be struggling. Otherwise the campus, although a bit small is fine, really nice, the library could be a little bigger.

Studying at CEU prepared me for the world.

Studying Advertising and public relations at CEU Cardenal Herrera was an enriching and transformative experience. One thing I standout is the combined theoretical and practical skills we learned throughout the career. We work hand on hand with well known brands that give us a profesional view and a bigger understanding of the profesional world. The multicultural environment at CEU help me develop cultural sensibility and open my perspective because of the diverse backgrounds. The most enriching experience was living in the amazing city en Valencia, its stunning architecture and its amazing food. I graduated feeling confident and prepared to enter to the professional world.

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.

Masters international Management

I enjoyed this programe, academically is it similar to other programs in other cities but it offers so much more. The personal connection with professors, strong guidance for future career and the international network is what separates it from other options!
