High quality content, flexible, & meaningful
The content is extremely high quality, current, and there is a variety of exam types (manuscripts, writing papers, presentations, speeches, group work, oral exams, etc.). This mixture prepares students for a wide range of real-world situations, especially as aspiring leaders. Courses were relevant to modern topics and can translate to a multitude of industries. It truly is an international program, both from lecturers and students that all play a key role in the "international" aspect. I personally had lecturers/peers that were: German, Dutch, Egyptian, Tunisian, Finnish, Spanish, Italian, American, Brazilian, Indian, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Ukrainian, Kazakhstan, and Emirati to name a few, all with varying levels of fluent English. This is important to mention as it really prepares students for international business settings that could have a wide degree of backgrounds and varying levels of English. The variety all around made this program easily one of the top universities in the world for this degree. Flexible hours made it realtively easy to do alongside family and full-time work, which isn't always the case with these types of programs. Expectations are clearly laid out at the beginning of the semester so you can plan well in advance deadlines, seminars, and coursework. Lastly, the program advisor is AMAZING at their job! She actively does all she can to help push success of the students and helps you manage progress throughout the program. At first, I thought it was strange and not needed, but after the first semester I was so grateful to have someone to help remind me of deadlines, what is needed, and overall motivation to continue. I do not know of any other program that offers this one-on-one aspect to each student. From the 4 semester program, only 2 sessions from the total ~80 sessions seemed dull and I had trouble focusing. Truly, the rest were engaging and the professors were absolute subject matter experts who wanted the students to understand the material and succeed in the course. Overall, very happy with my experience and highly recommend this particular program to anyone looking for a distance international MBA education.
