Why did you choose to pursue a Master's degree in Business Administration at ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ?
​â¶Ä‹I chose the Master in Business Administration at ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ because I was looking for a program that combined a practical and innovative approach with a solid theoretical foundation. Having studied Management Engineering at ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ, I was already familiar with the value of its teaching method, which was strongly oriented toward the business world. However, I felt the need to expand my skills beyond the technical aspect and develop a more comprehensive view of the corporate world. I believe that a Master's degree is the ideal step for an engineer who wants to understand not only how processes and systems work, but also how to make strategic decisions, manage resources and face market challenges. Another added value of ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ is the direct relationship with the faculty, which makes the interaction more personal and constructive. This creates a stimulating learning environment where one feels supported and involved in one's own growth.
You have chosen a part-time master's program. How do you find yourself in this mode of study? What do you particularly appreciate?
​â¶Ä‹The part-time mode offers great flexibility, allowing study and other commitments, both professional and personal, to be reconciled. For those who work, it provides an opportunity to immediately apply the knowledge acquired in their work context, creating a direct link between theory and practice. Although studying and working at the same time requires commitment, this mode allows one to continue training without having to make sacrifices. In addition, it allows you to grow simultaneously both academically and professionally, enriching your path with concrete experiences.
Is there a study experience that made a positive impression on you that you would like to recount?
​â¶Ä‹
From my experience, one of the aspects I appreciate most about this Master's program is its practical approach and the opportunity to work on concrete projects related to business cases. The integration of theory with case studies, exercises and project work makes learning very dynamic and effective. This method not only facilitates the understanding of concepts, but also enables the development of useful skills for dealing with real situations with greater confidence and awareness.What advice would you give to those considering enrolling in the same master's program?
​â¶Ä‹I would recommend approaching the Master's program with curiosity and a willingness to put yourself out there. It is a challenging path, but very stimulating and rewarding. If you want to broaden your business skills and develop a more strategic perspective, this Master's program is an excellent choice. In addition, the diversity of student and faculty profiles creates an enriching learning environment, fostering discussion and exchange of ideas with people from different fields.
