The MSc in Finance programme is one of the toughest of the Business School, therefore, it is a high level programme due to the level of the admitted students and the work required. However, I think the course is way too academic-focused (theoretical rather than practical). I like the competitiveness of the programme and of the students. I would definitely recommend it to a European friend (it is free tuition for EU citizens) but perhaps not for a non-European friend. The campus is small and rather old, but good enough to do all student-related tasks. The night life in Aarhus can be quite nice, it is a very young city where 15% of the city are students or young adults. I think the Career Services could play a bigger role and have more on campus recruiting as Aarhus is a leading university in Denmark.
To begin with, I think that problem-based learning -method is a fantastic way to go. Learning through projects based on real-life problems give a good opportunity to educate yourself in an environment which prepares you for the future. Also, minimizing the amount exams and increasing the number of projects is definitely something positive especially when comprehension and understanding are what is needed in the modern society. I believe that educations based on memorising and scoring well on countless exams are not really measuring anything else than how good one is memorising a lot of detailed information in a short time. UCN's approach is more up to date in today's world -offering students a way to show their overall understanding by intertwining subjects to a whole, just like in real life. And isn't real life our goal with education? However, there are a few points which have made me to give only 2 stars to NAKU. Firstly, I think that I was expecting a higher level of the teaching. It has felt like that only every now and then I leave a class with a feeling that it was worth to come instead of just reading the material for the day. I am expecting more in-depth teaching as well as higher-level English in institutions for higher education. Secondly, I think NAKU is lacking in sufficient feedback. Sometimes I feel that students are treated a bit like little ducklings that have to be protected from "negative"/constructive feedback. However, it is difficult to perform better and reach bigger goals and even think about surviving in Masters programs if constructive feedback is missing. Also, the lack of individual assignments leads to a situation where some students work a lot harder than others but are given the same feedback/grades. Unfortunately, it is true that there are students that have completely ridden on the wave of other students without moving a finger with very insufficient skills. Lastly, I must complain about structure. It seems to me like there are many organizational problems at UCN/NAKU. It is very difficult to get information about lectures, important dates, projects etc. on time. Because of that, at least my own stress levels have risen high. Planning life around the school can be difficult when information is very hard to get on time. All of these things together have made me come to a conclusion that UCN is a bit like a juvenile as an organization. It has potential to grow up but at the moment it still needs to put its energy into fixing fundamental problems. I feel like it is very easy to get a degree out but I would not feel very proud of it.

The Danish School of Media and Journalism has a very good reputation. It has a reputation (in Denmark at least) that it is hard to be accepted to the school. There are different educations offered at DMJX and I took a bachelor in communication. It's a broad education which includes 2 times 6 months internships and an international semester. It's 7 semesters long - 3,5 years. I must admit despite the school's good reputation a lot of things didn't go according to plan and at the point, the classes were too easy. The school had bad communication itself; even kept in mind, that the communications education is new there - I hope they have improved this. Other than that it IS a good school, which will soon move to new buildings from the iconic one it "lives" in now.

First of all, the university is nowhere near as international as it portrays itself to be; there are less international students than you would expect. In terms of the teachers, I can honestly say I had one good teacher per semester. The others ranged from bad to completely unprofessional. Also with the planning of exams and classes, it sometimes made me wonder how the people behind this can be a part of the management department. However, on the bright side, I did like the idea of working in study groups and having to do all sorts of projects - that helps with the practical aspects of teaching. Another thing that I'd praise is the cafeteria, as they offer fresh and diverse food.
