Student Reviews
high quality course with many specializations
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
The course offers high quality and varied content. Right from the start, you get many different insights into business administration and later on your studies you have a wide range of exciting specialization options. However, it also requires a lot of self-organization and commitment.

Not a big University and therefore not much going on. Teaching stuff is very friendly and the courses are somewhat difficult.
