Opinion about West Pomeranian Business School in Szczecin? Is it a good school? [24]
I graduated from this school last October.
Pluses:
The school is nice, environment good, cheaper than other similar courses, I learnt a lot because I don't have a background in business/economics, 10/15 people in the classroom.
Minuses:
There are good and very bad teachers. Some of them do not speak English well. Get used to send an email to the secretary and wait for a week for a reply. When we graduated they didn't even mention foreign students during the celebration (I complanied and the dean apologized), some teachers are really good while others are too Polish (meaning that they are still using that kind of very old style approach in which the teacher is the bearer of the truth). No connection with companies.
Before starting the program there, I was enrolled at KU Leuven, which is among the top 20 universities in Europe and was number 67 in the world. I left it because it sucked and I liked the program at WPBS much more than the one in the super cool school. Rankings are worth pretty much nothing unless you go to the TOP schools such as London Business School and a couple more in Europe or you go to Harvard and so on. These rankings are based on many factors and not just because one school is "better" than another. I have degrees and work experience from/in very good schools, so I know.
It depends on what works for you. If you want to be "a corporate worker" than you need to spend money or get the company pay for your MBA. These top schools are generally paid by companies, not by individuals because they are too expensive (100.000 euros for fees, rent, food, time you cannot work etc... ). If you want to learn about business and maybe start something on your own, I would recommend WPBS.
Sorry for possible mistakes, I am on a hurry.
