Great program for entrepreneurial minded students
Whether you want to start your own business or are interested in digital topics, this program is a good choice either way. I especially liked the partially free choice of subjects from the catalog as well as the intercultural exchange with fellow students.
Strong international support
Great University although some things are certainly lacking and I feel they can do better. For international students, its harder to make friends so a buddy system can be implemented or at least social events (on campus) that can allow for students to engage with one another.
Provisions
The Master of Paper Technology program at MUAS is the only English-speaking program of its type in Germany. The solid partnership among colleges, their students, and companies is the highlight of the course. The course additionally gave assistance with housing and a host of additional benefits for its students. The campus, which happens to be in the center of Munich, also provides an extensive number of benefits for students.
