Academic
Course recommendations
CEMS core course (International Management & Organisation) very good! Innovation in Services, not too good and grading not transparent (yet rather easy grading). The latter course is very time intensive and one is - as a CEMS student with the business project besides this course - so busy with all the time intensive mandatory assignments (that do not count towards the final grade!) that the papers (idividual literature review and group paper) have to be done in the very stressful end of the semester.

Personal comments
a trifle too work-intensive! Studying abroad is also about networking, experiencing the country & culture and making friends, not just hard work!
