“Excellent practice oriented university”

Sven C

Switzerland, Graduate
Management Information Systems, 2019

Overall

I studied business information technology at the university of applied sciences. The courses fitted perfectly for a person who should act between business and IT. You'll learn the essenetials about information technologies (it architecture, security, software development, web technologies and protocols, ...) and you'll get a profound knowledge about businesses and their needs.

Pros

Wide range of subjects explained to their details, practical approach

Personal comments

I was surprised when I just arrived to Switzerland because everything was in German. At the beginning it was pretty to understand when I buy something but later it was ok. In school all lectures were in English so there was no problem.
