Did it work? – Students Feedback
“Never have I experienced a learning process
as effective as the one in this course.”
- Ida Sundahl, Student in 2009
“In comparison with all the courses I have
taken since I started studying at university, I
can clearly say that this was by far the best
course I have ever taken part of. [...] This
course gave me a clear hint on where my
future career path should go.”
– Estelle Tanner, Student in 2011
„The seminar offered
an excellent mix of
academic lectures,
business presentations
and the brillant
negotiation simulation
event where previous
knowledge could be
deepened and new
knowledge acquired.“
– Constantin Hille,
Student in 2010
