“Worst experience ever”
A
OverallUseless courses, unclear professors, no support at all. Only problems with no solutions. Takes ages to understand what it is expected, receive feedback or guidance and the overall cost is too high for what is offered. Can't believe how they score so high on international masters' rankings.

Careers
No one provides support in looking for an internship. Actually, when you find opportunities they will stop you from taking them (either the internship doesn't align with their goals or they have impossible deadlines). Funny thing is, they will ask the company you found by yourself if it would be willing to take another ICN Intern! They make money off of the efforts of students, who are left alone in finding the best internship opportunities and they profit out of it, declaring ICN former students managed to create their career thanks to them. Unacceptable.
