MBA in International Business

Many students require an MBA to land their ideal career. The Global American University, Schiller, assisted me in obtaining mine. With the assistance of the school and the career services, I was able to acquire a summer internship with Amazon, which resulted in a full-time offer. Schiller, which has various campuses provides excellent job options. The quality and variety of international students at Schiller stood out. I met and learned from peers from all over the world, and I plan to continue to leverage my global network as my career progresses.
I went to Schiller to shift my professional path, and I was successful in doing so, switching from finance to a tech position. Living in Heidelberg was also an unforgettable experience; there was always something interesting and fascinating to do, and being in a global city made networking and hiring a breeze. I would suggest Schiller to anyone who enjoys a challenge and wants to step out of their comfort zone.

My Schiller Experience

Being an international university, Schiller gives you the opportunity to meet people from all over the world and learn about their cultures. The campus in Madrid is located in a very nice and safe area close to everything. The teaches in this campus are very helpful and always want you to succeed. They take time out of their day to provide you with any extra help you might need.

The student council is always organizing great activities for the students to go to and have fun together. They help the students to get to know each other, visit new cities while exposing them to Spanish culture.

An education like no other

SIU provides a great American education all the while surrounded by a significantly different culture which is a great experience. Not only that but the people around you are also international which makes for great memories when you fumble through the do's and don'ts of a different country and language.

The location is breathtaking. Madrid has various scenes to it, one more beautiful than the next. No matter how long you live here it will always find a way to surprise you. As for the university itself I was surprised of its size at first but soon came to the realization that this was a plus. Although it is not as big as a traditional American University usually is it provides a lot of benefits. The student body has the possibility to meet each and every single student, as does the teacher which is great as they can help you through any obstacles you come across in class.

What would you improve about this program?
This program is unlike any other I have seen. Although I was somewhat skeptical about how it would work at first, I would not want to have it any other way!

Living Abroad

SIU Madrid is truly a unique university. It's located in a vibrant & trendy city, center location. The uniqueness of this university is seen through its educational value. The classroom setting is very personalized, where students & faculty connect at a personal and professional level. I've always been keen to a small educational setting- Schiller is a great example of this personalized educational environment. Not only does SIU value education, but also experience. SIU organizes valuable trips, such as trips to the Zara headquarters, the European Parliament, and local trips around Madrid.

Overall, Madrid and SIU have greatly contributed to my life experience. Madrid is an ideal city for international students; it's vibrant & full of energy. Madrid is always alive, offering many entertainment options. My network of international friends has also expanded thanks to SIU. We have students from around the globe, which truly adds to one's life experience. I couldn't be happier with the friendships I've created, and how I've learned so much about cultures. SIU and Madrid have tremendously influenced my overall educational experience. Madrid is now my home, for I have fallen in love with everything it has to offer. If you are ready to become memorized by this unique university and city I strongly recommend you looking into SIU.

What would you improve about this program?
Overall this program is excellent. However, I believe students should have more internship options relating to their major. Another great idea would be creating an alumni network where students and alumni interact. This is crucial for our future since we get first hand advice from those who've paved the way for us.

Life in Madrid

Living abroad gives you experiences that will last you a life time. To move to Madrid is a big step if you are just moving out from mom and dads house but it is worth it. Europe has so much to offer and everything is so close so when you study in one country you have the rest of Europe at your finger tips. Which makes your stay even more adventurous. Madrid is a very safe city with many nice people. The school community is very international and the professors are extremely helpful and supportive.

Living in Madrid

Being part of Schiller is a great experience. This university is very diverse, therefore it makes it interesting to communicate with students from all over the globe. Madrid is a very nice and safe place, also, there are lots of things to do there. The only difficulty in being in Madrid is the language. If you know Spanish, it makes life so much easier. Apart from that, it is a good experience.

What would you improve about this program?
Honestly, the courses are challenging and what makes it better is the full support from the professor.

Great place to study & great place to live

My program lasted a year, I made great friends from literally all over the world. Madrid is an amazing place to live and Schiller's professors and staff are incredibly helpful. Would recommend it to anyone looking for an experience abroad that is safe, affordable, and with tons of great people and food!

What would you improve about this program?
More community involvement, the university is small but I think I missed the opportunity to volunteer with some NGO's locally.

There were courses ar year long but the some of the summer months were a little empty, Madrid turns into a ghost town during July and August.
