Testimonials:

I am holding the position as CEO in an SME focusing on Automotive & Industrial Quality Service Support. Studying in parallel was quite a challenge but definitely worth the efforts. The study program allows for combining the course contents with concrete job requirements in a perfect way – in particular if you are searching for deeper knowledge on the topic of EU funded projects. My master thesis included a full EU proposal on energy-saving measures and CO2 binding strategies in suburban and rural areas. I recommend the entire program to everyone who is in EU projects.

Not only did the Master Program give a comprehensive course based insight on how the EU really works, which in my point of view should be mandatory lectures for every European citizen, but this program also gives me an invaluable advantage on how and where I can get funding for my RnD programs and projects for my company. It just opened up a new “world” for us as a company and for me personally as well.

As one of the most innovative companies in Europe, AVL is involved in different research programs on national and European level. Before starting with the MSc EPM, I already gained first experience in the coordination of a major EU funded project. The EPM gave me the possibility to enhance my skills for the setup and management of research projects in different funding schemes, thus leading to new opportunities in my professional career.

After having worked for several years in a multinational company in Global Procurement and Supply Chain I thought it would be beneficial to go back to theory and study some foundational elements of business. I was aiming to enhance my knowledge in finance, international business and better comprehend the complexities of globally operating companies. My plan worked out even better than I expected. Theory applied was always linked to practical examples of daily business. There is no doubt that the MBA will bring me forward in my endeavor for more knowledge, personal achievements along with professional accomplishments. It was a great experience made of great people I met.
