Javiera Jara
MIBA Alumnus working at Airbus

When I was deciding where to do my Master's Degree, what mattered most to me was finding a smaller institution that offered a personalized program. I wanted professors who would give individual attention to every student and a program that matched my needs and abilities.

At AUS, every course includes practical parts like group projects, which helped me not only understand theories but also improve my skills. The practical experience, along with extra certificates and connections I gained at AUS, helped me land an internship at Swiss Air and my current job at Airbus.
