Programme opinions
Ester Tueros
,
For me, the learning by doing methodology was a definite highlight. EADA uses a hands-on approach in all classes, incorporating case studies, group projects and oral presentations. The methodology was practical, and put us in the shoes of managers who need to take a decision. The content of the courses is also very connected to real life, so I learnt how to apply all the knowledge to real situations.
