“For me EBS London was the
point of no return. I got more
than I ever expected in terms of
academic knowledge, experi-

great because all the theory learned is also
applied in different real and current case studies.
This helps develop a lot of skills which are crucial
in the business world, such as working in a team,
the ability to make a good presentation or to work
under pressure. The environment helps me practise
my language skills because in every corner of this
school I can hear different languages. Also, as part
of this course I get to spend one semester in
