We do almost all of our projects in small international teams, and we work together like we would in a business company and synergize our different ideas. There's flexibilities to meet with teachers outside of class, and ask them questions, not just specifically things we learn in the class.
Ann Connolly
Business Administration, United States of America -
My time at Anglo-American University was genuinely transformative, shaped as much by the people as by the academics. The close international community and discussion-based classes pushed me to grow, speak up, and gain confidence in my ideas. I built both practical skills and a clearer sense of direction for my career.
