Testimonials Harrison Atabong (MSc in Management)
Eleftheria Briaza, 2016, Best Business Talents’ Competition Finalist“My main motivation for pursuing the MSc in Management at International Hellenic University was ultimately to realize my childhood dream to become a successful manager.The Ihu's Management program is without any doubt one of the best program in Europe, in this field. I could describe it as rigorous and demanding. Professors come from all parts of the world, from best universities, and cooperate with very successful companies It was a life-changing experience that was crucial for the take-off of my career. It equipped me with in-depth knowledge on various business topics and enhanced my managerial and teamwork skills. It also altered my attitude; it made me understand that no professional challenge is too big to conquer. The education that I have received has left a lasting impression which I will carry throughout my career in the business world. The Ihu takes the term interactive classroom to another level. I am having a great experience while studying since it has a true multicultural society where people from different nationalities are very well integrated. This international ingredient is vital for conducting business on an international scale or for working in multinational firms. It also helped me gain good intercultural communication, conflict management and team work as some of the necessary social skills to succeed in any work environment. It provided me with the knowledge needed to develop into a professional and a leader in my field of expertise, it gave me opportunities to work on real life cases and, last but not least, it helped me become a part of a high qualified network. The last is a benefit, which in today’s business is, in itself, a top priority.Enrolling at Ihu I found a very caring and homely environment, where the faculty staff and the people in the university are highly qualified, exceptionally supportive, approachable and helpful. It is impressive that there was the personal supervisor to whom you can turn for some advice. They were all there to help and along them the career office organized seminars on respective topics on job search and applications up to any issues that possibly may arise outside the university life of a student. I have to admit that the professional character, impartial approach and the possible options that I have been offered from these services helped me a lot, not only academically, but also on a personal level. Personally I developed responsibility, openness and passion for doing a good job while working on the different class assignments and projects. I am now employed in Lidl Hellas, one of the leading retailers in USA and Europe. Working as a Property Development manager, i consider myself very lucky, and to a large part I can thank the Ihu and its mentoring programme for where I am now. I would recommend this program to anyone seeking to improve their management skillset, deepen the knowledge and understanding of global management issues and push your limits beyond what you think you can do. In my eyes Ihu is like an incubator for future business people who want to achieve great things in life. Joining the MSc in Management was definitely a valuable investment and one of my best decisions so far. “
