Staff really case about the students
I cannot speak highly enough of my experience at IUBH university of applied sciences. From the moment I stepped onto campus, I felt welcomed and supported by both the faculty and the students. The professors are not only incredibly knowledgeable in their respective fields, but also truly care about their students' success. They go above and beyond to ensure that we receive a thorough education and are prepared for the real world. The campus itself is beautiful, with state-of-the-art facilities for learning, sports, and recreation. Whether you're studying in the library, working out at the gym, or playing a game of pickup basketball with friends, there's always a comfortable and modern space to do it in. Beyond academics, it also offers a plethora of clubs, organizations, and events for students to get involved in. From volunteering in the community to participating in intramural sports, there's something for everyone. Overall, I feel incredibly fortunate to attend such a well-rounded and supportive university. It has truly exceeded my expectations in every way.
Overall statisfaction
During my bachelor studies I had many great and high-qualified teachers who made the program even better and more exciting. During my study years I had many great moments due to the university's wide network and connections.
Strong Foundations, but Needs Practical Exposure
As a current student in the Master's in Development Economics program, I have found it to be a rich and diverse learning experience that offers a solid foundation in both theoretical and applied aspects of the field. The program�s strengths lie in its interdisciplinary approach, blending economics with development policy, and its emphasis on critical thinking, which encourages students to engage with complex global challenges like climate change, inequality, and sustainable development. Strengths: Diverse Curriculum: The program covers a wide range of topics, from quantitative methods to development theories and case studies, giving students the tools to analyze real-world problems effectively. Engaged Faculty: Professors are knowledgeable and approachable, often encouraging debate and offering valuable insights drawn from their research and field experience. Networking Opportunities: The program provides opportunities to connect with international students and professionals through seminars, workshops, and conferences. Flexibility for Research Interests: The ability to tailor the thesis and research projects to your specific interests is a significant advantage, especially for those wanting to explore niche areas. Areas for Improvement: Practical Experience: While the theoretical foundation is strong, there is a noticeable gap in opportunities for hands-on learning, such as internships or fieldwork integrated into the curriculum. Lack of Career Guidance: More structured career support, such as mentorship programs or partnerships with development organizations, would be beneficial for students preparing for the job market. Overall, the program is a great fit for students passionate about exploring development economics through a critical lens and those aiming to contribute to meaningful change in their careers.
