WAS STUDYING FOR A MASTER’S WORTH IT ALL?
The effort was definitely worth it, from my point of view, and I really enjoyed it. My studies took me a big step forward, not only professionally but also personally. I now feel ready to embark on a career, and I’m looking forward to the future.
WOULD YOU RECOMMEND THE STUDY PROGRAMME TO OTHERS?
The study programme is exciting for anyone who wants to work in marketing in the future and at the same time wants to gain a strong business foundation. When I started the Master’s course, I didn’t know what area of marketing I wanted to work in. The programme also helped me to come to a decision. Many of my fellow students were in the same situation – others were already working in marketing and wanted to deepen their expertise.
HOW CAN YOU APPLY WHAT YOU LEARNED TO YOUR DAILY LIFE?
During my studies I learned to question facts in a critical manner and quickly get an overview of issues. Today, this helps me to take the right decisions and set the right priorities when working against time. We also had training in organising oneself, perseverance and how to look professional. These are all the kind of things I can put into practice every day.
