Biggest boost of my career
Theo Rieken rated 5 out of 5 stars
The NIT is a very unique school. You will be part of a team of highly motivated and super smart people that mostly have a technical background but want to learn about innovation, business and management. Many found startups or become successful professionals which provides you with an extensive network later on. NIT is perfect for everyone that wants to do the extra mile...
absolutely recommendable

Exhausting but worth it
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
very good international faculty. customer-oriented admin team (special thanks to Lydia, Stefanie, Wolfgang and Xiaoxing): had challenges in the beginning due to new curriculum, changing managing director and COVID: but they solved it. Time- and content wise: it was exhausting but worth it. Several job offers before I graduated.
