Testimonials

EBU Alumni and current students share their thoughts and learning experiences.

Somehow, I regularly need to justify my motivation. All I can say: "never waist a good crisis". The COVID19 situation combined with the native online EBU DBA program was THE opportunity to pursue my doctorate ambition. Managing a good balance between work, family, a rigor online study and social life is doable. The first painful experience, after 20+ years of business, is to unlearn and learn to be a student again. The theoretical depth of the program, the discoveries through research and the intellectual bashing by the professors pushed my development to a next level. Even better, in the first term I was already being challenged on my dissertation topic by professors and fellow candidates.

Martin M. S. Kartomo (DBA candidate)

"What an eventful 10 weeks! Glad it's done and dusted. The semester has been quite rigorous and has provided me with not only a greater understanding of the physical world but also greater time management skills. The EBU staff are a Gem, the orientation was very well coordinated, and the staff were always available to assist. The support and order they provided went a long way in helping me settle in very fast. The portal is easy to navigate. The Professors demonstrated a good understanding of their subject areas and delivered the learnings in an impactful way. Being in the same room with focused people encourages me to bring my "A-game" as well, I have learnt a lot from my colleagues and enjoyed all the projects we did together. My experience at EBU has turned into a journey I never thought possible, and I could not be more thankful. Looking forward to the second semester"

Trinta Muriuki (MBA student)

As the first term is ended, I can look back at an interesting start of my MSc. Finance. The online platform and classes are easy to follow and the professors are constantly trying to get the best out of you. In the course, the professors use a lot of real life examples and they make sure you learn to apply the theory of that week directly. This way, you learn and understand the covered material of the course faster. When you do have questions or a problem, you can easily contact your professors or the staff of EBU. I'm looking forward to expand my knowledge in Term II and to learn more about the fascinating world of Finance.

Tommie De Praetere (MSc. Finance student)

As an executive Adm, the opportunity to combine profession and Doctoral studies through the European Business University of Luxembourg is to be recommended. Through weekly webinars and with a strong professional and academic network, it has given me the best possibilities to undertake further education at a higher level.

Capt. Jetmund Runde (DBA candidate)

The EBU staff are an impressive group. World-renowned faculty members with whom I had an opportunity to have classes. They provide students with practical knowledge, prepare numerous sources to understand the subjects deeply. I also appreciate online education as it saves time. Additionally, the faculty members are always available to assist. The platform is easy to navigate and provides students with useful resources for studying. The Professors, have upstanding knowledge of their subject areas and share their knowledge with the students in a very effective way. I appreciate the small class sizes and close interaction between students and faculty. The EBU allows me to look at the business from every perspective and apply what I learn immediately.

Juliana Fylypczuk (MBA student)

I have just finished DBA103 Research Methods I, and will soon commence Research Methods II. The scouting exercise that was assigned at the beginning helped me during the kick-off. Having done DBA101 Organisational Leadership got me started with the topic to establish the research and literature review; and also going ahead with a conversation with the teacher (Dr. Gupta) helped me to shape my initial ideas. All the interesting "problems" that were appearing and that caught my attention were discussed with the teacher during the seminars and a couple of one-to-one meetings, and they gave me the precise answers to where to go from there. After some considerations I decided to continue the program in a partial dedication, since I am full time employed in an organisation. It is possible to accomplish both! I am quite satisfied and happy with EBU!
