Choose Success, Choose MU

Choosing the right university was a pivotal decision in my life, and I couldn't be happier that I chose Modul University for my higher education journey. My decision to attend MU was influenced by several factors that made it stand out among the options. MU's reputation for academic excellence stood out to me. The university consistently ranked among the top institutions in my field of study, and its faculty members were renowned experts in their respective disciplines. I knew that attending MU would provide me with the best possible education and equip me with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in my future career. From the moment I visited the campus, I was struck by the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The university's commitment to fostering inclusivity and cultural diversity was evident in its various student organizations and initiatives, and I felt that MU would be a place where I could learn not only from my coursework but also from my peers who came from all corners of the globe. Modul University has provided me with a platform to grow as a person. It has challenged me to think critically, encouraged me to explore new ideas, and supported my academic pursuits every step of the way. The knowledge and skills I have gained through their guidance have prepared me for the challenges of the real world. 

I believe that In the field of international management, diversity is not just a buzzword; it's a driving force. Here at MU, diversity isn't just a concept; it's our strength. Our campus is a melting pot of cultures, and it's something we cherish. It creates a unique environment that enriches our learning experiences, broadens our horizons, and prepares us for the globalized world of management. 

 

One of the standout features of MU is our approachable and dedicated professors. They are not just educators but mentors who invest in our growth. Their guidance and support have been instrumental in my academic journey. 

I chose this university because I want to establish my own business after graduation from MU. "The quality of education and friendly environment" were the first words they told me when I came to visit the university, and it was true. Spring mornings on the balcony facing the view of the city of Vienna is one of those experiences that I enjoy every day in the university. I came to this university for my third bachelor's degree, and now I am officially working as a photographer and ambassador of the university. The university trusted me, and I always enjoy the fact that my work environment and my studies are the same.

Working with computers has always been my strong suit. I enjoyed being the "IT guy" throughout my life and no matter what the task was, if it involved many interactions with a computer, I would do that task well. I have been working as a software engineer since the age of 16, developing software across various platforms, including iOS, Android, web, and backend. However, as much as being a software engineer is empowering, in the realm of IT, AI stands out as the trendiest topic. At the time of applying, I was working on a startup project that required me to know more about building machine learning models. Modul was the only university in Vienna that offered bachelor’s degree data science in English. Nevertheless, I am delighted to have become a part of MU. Apart from providing a great course to study data science, it has afforded me opportunities to connect with exceptional individuals, engage in challenging projects, and showcase my talents beyond classroom assignments and topics.

Modul University offers a fantastic learning environment with diverse international connections. As one of the first students in the "Applied Data Science" program, I've already gained valuable knowledge and hands-on experience from exceptional professors. The best part about our university is the small classrooms. I am now starting my third semester as an exchange student at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. The journey ahead promises to be full of rewarding experiences and personal growth.

I am currently pursuing a BBA in Tourism and Hospitality with a specialization in Tourism and Event Management at Modul University. I discovered Modul through a close friend, and its program aligned with my passion for event planning. Although leaving Hong Kong and coming to Europe was challenging, as it meant being away from my family for the first time and experiencing a new continent, I have received a huge amount of support from my loved ones and the university staff. Their encouragement has fueled my motivation to excel academically. I really like Modul's student events, organized trips, approachable lecturers and staff, the study areas, and the view of Vienna. I am immensely grateful to everyone who has supported me on this transformative journey, as their constant support has significantly enhanced my experience at Modul University. 

After completing my high school diploma in Austria, I felt overwhelmed by the variety of opportunities and. I was certainly unsure about making an immediate decision about my future. How could I possibly know, at the age of 18, what I wanted to do for the rest of my life? So, I decided to go abroad to the US as an au pair, an experience I truly cherish. It allowed me to improve my English skills, explore new places, gain independence, and discover the best version of myself. 

During that year abroad, I had the chance to participate in various university classes in Chicago and LA. I dived into different subjects, and what struck me was my fascination with the business environment. I realized that a management degree would provide me with a broad spectrum of career options across various departments. When I returned to Austria, my expectations were high and I was seeking a university with an international atmosphere, an open-minded community, and an interesting curriculum entirely in English. 

My research led me to various universities in Vienna, but each one seemed to have a drawback, whether it was too theoretical, lacking practical insights, or not sufficiently international. Some universities had enormous classes with over 500 students, which didn't align with my communicative personality, and I didn't want to feel like just a number. Then, I discovered Modul University Vienna and attended their open day. I was genuinely impressed by their programs, had enlightening conversations with fellow students, appreciated their smaller, interactive classes, valued their focus on hands-on teaching, and found their curriculum highly informative. To my delight, their programs also integrated internships as part of the study experience. I thought it might be too good to be true, but my initial impression proved to be accurate. Modul University was the perfect fit for me. 

 

During my Bachelor studies, I gained knowledge across various relevant fields, relished the class sizes, engaged in direct face-to-face discussions with professors, and benefited from a competent and supportive faculty. I joined a student club, tackled challenges, took advantage of tutoring services when courses became difficult, completed an internship at a prestigious international luxury company, and forged lifelong friendships with people from diverse backgrounds, some of whom I had the pleasure of visiting on the other side of the world. Most importantly, I acquired the knowledge necessary to thrive in the job market and embark on my own business career, armed with valuable networking strategies from my degree at Modul University Vienna. 

Throughout the program, I had the opportunity to explore many of my passions and consider how to integrate them into the working world. And guess what, I had such a fantastic experience at this University that I also decided to pursue my master's degree immediately after completing my bachelor's degree. I am currently in my third semester of the MSc in Management program and can't help but wish that time would slow down. What I enjoy the most is that the MSc program is more time flexible, even more practical, the networking opportunities are higher, and the enrichment courses are led by managing directors and other professionals which prepare you perfectly for the working world. 

I chose to study an MBA at Modul University Vienna. The university is well-known for its excellent academic programs and its focus on providing a practical education. They believe in learning through real-life experiences, and they have strong connections with various industries. This aligns perfectly with my career goals. 

Modul University Vienna also offers a diverse and multicultural environment, which I believe will enrich my learning experience and give me a global perspective. The professors at the university are highly experienced professionals who bring a lot of knowledge to the classroom. Additionally, the university has a strong network of alumni and career services that will help me with networking and future opportunities. 

Marieta Stoyanova Ivanova B Modul University is more than an institution, it's been a profound journey of self-discovery and growth for me. Here, I've not only gained knowledge but also formed lasting friendships. Each lecture has been an eye-opening experience, showing me the world's vast possibilities, all attainable through the simple act of believing in oneself.
