My Prague Experience
-
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 -
What made AAU special for me was the flexibility. AAU gave me the freedom to build my schedule around it while exploring subjects I was genuinely interested in. The international community also had a lasting impact — many of the friends I met at AAU have become part of my professional network across different countries and industries.
