AMS REVIEW
AMS is a great school with strong programs. I was part of the Master of Finance program and got a lot out of it. The only downside is that it can be difficult to find a job in Belgium without knowing Dutch or French, so I had to look for opportunities elsewhere in the EU.
Brilliant choice with a tiny con
AMS is a great school with strong programs. I was in the Master of Finance program and gained a lot from it. The only downside to you reading this maybe that it's challenging to secure a job in Belgium if you don't speak Dutch or French, since I speak French it's not something I'm worried about but if you don't you would have to explore other options within the EU to find employment. But overall education wise, very impressed.
Good value for money
In terms of value for money, I believe this is the best University to get a master�s degree on accounting you can choose. Being part of Antwerp Management School will definitely make it easier to enter the job market and offers a strong networking network.
