Local and International Recognition

Hear from our Students

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.
Joseph Zouein
MIBA Student
In Lebanon, my bachelor's degree mainly dealt with theories. But at AUS, it's different. Here, we don't just read about things; we get to roll up our sleeves and dive into practical work. We work on real projects and even visit companies to see how things are done in the real world. This hands-on approach gives me skills that employers really want.
Having a degree is important, but it's not everything. Employers are looking for people who not only know their stuff but can also work well with others, solve problems, and communicate effectively. At AUS, we learn all these skills, both the hard ones, like technical know-how, and the soft ones, like teamwork and communication. It's not just about getting a degree here; it's about getting ready for the real world.
