>> ALUMNI NEWS

Alexander Van Beek, EU BBA Montreux 1995

General Director, SE Chateau Giscours SAS
Margaux, France

My experience at EU left me with great memories and contacts and I really feel I had a very complete academic education!
European University manages to combine academic learning with a very practical approach which gives students a real all-round experience. We also managed to learn a great deal of social skills, while all the case studies were linked to a lot of international companies like Nestle, Tetrapak, Caterpillar, etc.
Through the wide variety of nationalities on the campus (I think we had around 28 different countries represented) it really allowed you to see life with a wider perspective. It was truly a cultural experience!
