Personal comments

My French has really improven, since before I had problems to express myself perfectly. As the coure was in English until December ant then my Internship was mainly in French, I think I lost some fluency in English. I know I have not loose my English level, but the problem is that it does not come as naturally as before because I do not speak it so much

“3 year, 3 countries, 3 languages”

Alessandro N

Italy, Undergraduate
Management Science, 2019

Overall

A very international environment which allows you to meet people from all over the world and experience different cultures throughout the 3 years. 3 internships required to make you experience the real world application of your studying.
The program is focused on practical knowledge and experience, focused on team work and it helps you develop soft skills which will be very helpful in the future work environment

Pros

International environment, you experience a lot, networking

Cons

The Bachelor Program is 3 years old, therefore there are some issues which are being fixed but it still needs time.
