Personal recommendation
nearly all of my lecturers have been willing to help one on one with any problems i've had. this has made a difficult transition (coming from a non-technical background into a postgraduate course in information technology) less mystifying.

For an MBA course you have to be ready staying up most up the nights completing your projects along with may be exams. Hence, there is immense academic pressure. You have to be ready to do lots of research on your own. However, the staff are excellent too.

I can recommend it, since you can do up to 4 subject per semester and do three semester a year if you are in a hurry. Friendly lectures and opportunity to get to know many cultures

See as much as you can......you will miss it when you return home. Share accommodation either with locals or other students, best way to get to know people and to save money.
