The students rated both the support at the beginning of their studies (12 out of 16 points) and the contact with professional practice (11 out of 12 points) with top marks.
“It is important to us to support the students in their studies from day one. Personal support through small group sizes also makes a decisive contribution to this,” explains Elsner. The business administration student Christina Eifert: “I find it very encouraging that we learn in small groups. This makes the work more dynamic and the professors can respond to us better. I particularly like the practical excursions. For example, I was able to be part of a trip to the European Central Bank.” In addition, the students indicated that they would complete their bachelor’s degree in “reasonable time” and master to be able to do very well.
