It was a hard master's degree and i am happy that i managed to the full with such good grades. I really feel it was worth it, i am a better scientist than before due to the general knowlegde I gained and more fit for management.
This university has a very good e - learning program specialy for people that at the same time are working and they can't have a physicall presence at the lesson. The teachers are great and very helpful.
