"Studying at THWS was one of the best experiences of my life. The university provided excellent opportunities which helped me a lot to develop my personality and skills. Getting to know students from around the world and developing strong friendships with them was the highlight of my stay in Schweinfurt. The city is the perfect place to enjoy as well as concentrate on the studies and save up money to travel around Europe during vacations. The university really did its best to keep us engaged through various activities like "Taste the World", while also supporting the international students to organize their own events."

"I learned a lot at THWS. It would have been better if the university and the library would have been open longer and on Sundays but in total I had the best 3.5 years of my life. Since the very first day to the very end, the THWS Team International and the Faculty members of Business and Engineering helped in every aspect of studying in Germany. The course fitted perfectly with my career goals. I would really like to thank you all for giving me this opportunity of studying at THWS."

In my opinion, all the Professors and the University authority especially the I-Campus team are very co-operative. I-Campus team has always taken care of the students and supported with so many things like accommodation, opening bank account, house registration, residence permit and arranging course tutors and so on. I personally feel that it is a huge support for a student from a University."

"My student’s life at the FHWS i-Campus and in Schweinfurt was an unforgettable moment that happened once in my lifetime. The City of Schweinfurt, as an industry area, provides students a chance to put theories into practice in the big companies. After having applied eight times for a working student position at the Fresenius, I finally got one. Through this part-time work I gained a lot of interesting insights, such as the German working environment. The acquired knowledge and skills during my Bachelor’s time prepared me for the successful educational life and the prosperous professional career in the future."

• Degree programme: MBA Business with Europe
   
• Semester abroad: Christ University (India)
  
  
• Further career: Jr Manager Commercial Network Planning for Flixbus in Berlin (Germany)

"I joined this MBA program with a clear focus to get settled in Germany. My journey started from St Kuriakose hostel of Christ University where I met few of my classmates whom I’m in touch even today and we have developed deep friendship. The program at CU is very crisp and hectic in the first few months. After I came to Germany, things went super nice and the course is designed as per the market need and trend. The teaching methods were completely new for me. Since I like to travel I did a little sight seeing in Germany and the neighboring counties. I started my internship with Daimler buses soon after the first semester and I still remember traveling from Ulm to Schweinfurt (I loved the Blabla car ride to be honest). Currently, I’m working with FlixBus in Berlin as Jr Manager for Commercial Network Planning. What I do here? I Analyse data and different KPIs to build long term strategies to expand and develop a profitable network in new markets".
