Student Testimonials

H

An organized institute, providing high level of education and having nothing to be jealous of, from the western business schools, IHU gives you the impression that a great team of professors and administrative staff joined forces with the magic of Thessaloniki in order to seduce students.

Every course is a unique experience and the environment is such that you are feeling a student only when you have to take an exam or complete an assignment. I am one of those who investigated much prior to applying to IHU and what I can sincerely say after having completed almost one fourth of the courses is that the choice was wise: "International Hellenic University - a missing piece in the educational puzzle of Southeastern Europe"

Being an EMBA student at IHU gave me time and opportunity to reflect on my current professional experience and analyze my relations with colleagues and management. Bringing theory and practice together helped me to master my efficiency and performance by applying more functional approach at my work. Moreover, the acquisition of critical analytical and interpersonal skills enhanced my confidence when dealing with managerial matters.

Apart from studying and networking with the other students, I was also able to enjoy the atmosphere of an ancient city with plenty of landmarks, museums and architectural sites. I would hearty recommend taking a walk on the seafront with the White Tower, for instance.

In my opinion, it is worth taking a breath of the Thessaloniki air as well as studying the EMBA at IHU.

Having had in the past the opportunity to experience studies both in a public Greek University and a UK Business School, I would proudly recommend IHU to anyone, as a Greek University organized according to European Standards with committed personnel, excellent technical infrastructure and visiting teachers, who are indeed experts in their field of knowledge.

The executive MBA is a really demanding program that requires a lot of devoted time from the student's side, though not only for theoretical knowledge but mostly for practical exercises. This makes it even more challenging and it pays you quickly off, as you can shortly catch yourself in your work practicing what you have learned.

The whole student experience in IHU becomes even more pleasant due to the sense of community that is being built among co-students and the University's personnel as well. My co-students are all young people with high educational and professional backgrounds and I enjoy hanging out with them. The University's personnel are also very kind and professional and are really dedicated in making our busy student life as easier as possible.

Interesting and challenging academic curricula, talented and inspiring professors, strong and competitive colleagues - in contrast with the relaxing and beautiful surroundings of the city (Thessaloniki) makes this experience truly unforgettable.

Much more than acquiring impressive amounts of knowledge and developing from the human point of view - it was an important piece of our memory that will add up to our evolving maturity and cultural heritage following us in everything that we want to do in the future.

The qualities of the professors that I interact with are beyond compare and have been challenging me to think critically. Being lectured by a highly committed faculty, who shared their professional experiences, was a great added value to the course and I particularly appreciate that the bulk of the program was taught by senior faculty who flew in for the duration of each lesson.

The courses are very current and reflect the modern trends in the Industry. Another distinguishing feature of the program is the students attending, many of them coming from different industry, country and discipline.

To be sincere, I wouldn't say this at the beginning of my studies here, because it seemed very difficult to me (having no background in economics), but the professors and the whole staff here, have been so helpful, approachable and kind that they helped us change this experience into an unforgettable one.

One of the nicest things is the fact that this University is International, which means that you have the chance to get to know students from different countries, work with them, exchange experience,learn about their cultures and so on.
It's only the sixth month of my studies and I have started to think that I will miss my time here and I can say that studying at the International Hellenic University is one of the best and smart choices of my life.

The first public international university which gives you the opportunity to be taught by top-qualified and recognized professors of abroad.I found the interaction with foreign students a great and intresting chance for new thoughts and ideas.
