What our Alumni say

  • Dear Academic-Writing-Made-Easy team, Thank you for the course! I am not a student at uni. I took part in this course out of interest in English writing in all its forms. However, I can say that I am happy to have completed this MOOC. I am taking many interesting concepts and helpful ideas with me. Thanks again for the interesting course. All the best to all the team!

  • The goal of the course and our greatest concern is therefore to make this knowledge about Smart Farming and the digital transformation possibilities of agriculture available to all interested parties in a compact form – based on cutting-edge research findings, practice- as well as future-oriented.

    Josef Bauerdick
    Co-initiator certificate program Smart Farming and IoT in Agriculture

    Dr. Ulf Steinberg
    Senior Lecturer | Leadership- and Organizational Development
  • When you join this Executive MBA program, you become part of a group of interesting people from various backgrounds, who all want to improve as professionals. Working side by side with these experienced and accomplished individuals has taught me things such as: new ways of approaching problems, paths of execution entirely different from mine, insights, and advice from sources I never had access to. The side effect: a reliable personal network, that would have taken years to build up.

    Marc Erras
    Class of 2018
  • Participating in this program stands out as the best highlight in my professional journey. The global network of diverse students, guidance from insightful mentors, and the program’s focus on innovation have profoundly enhanced my professional growth. I extend heartfelt appreciation to my employer, AHK Eastern Africa, for sponsoring my expenses during the contact phases in Germany.

    Esther (Wanjiru) Ndichu
    Senior Project Manager, AHK Services Eastern Africa
  • The program provided an excellent environment to learn new methods how to consider unforeseeable changes in the competitive environment. I liked especially the opportunities to reflect the learning with practical examples, and the personal coaching for an own case.

    Dr.-Ing. Martin Haller
    MBA, Senior Director Strategic Projects, Infineon Technologies AG
  • By combining different areas of expertise, the certificate program provides a broad, integrated and critical perspective on the diverse aspects of sustainability. The exchange with learners from a wide range of industries offered interesting discussions and practical examples. I am now perfectly prepared to initiate improvements in the area of sustainability and to find sustainable solutions for customers.

    Dr. Bettina Basel
    Global Segment Manager Mold Making & Sustainability Coordinator Industrial Solutions, Wacker Chemie AG
  • Leadership means developing others – and that requires sound expertise in innovation and psychology, as well as a business creation mindset. In Talent Booster, we work on precisely these topics: we develop disruptive ideas, train leadership skills, and develop creative business models. This creates an environment in which courage, transformation, and entrepreneurial thinking can be experienced.

    Dr. Katharina Willis, MBA
    Innovation & Business Creation
  • I really appreciate TUM’s efforts to improve the knowledge of people around the world through free education.

    Former participant of the course
  • I was impressed by the variety of the course content and the professional organization of the course, as well as the presentation of many different perspectives on the BIM. I particularly enjoyed the presentations of the research work, which offered a fascinating glimpse into the future.

  • From day one of my practical phase, Voith showed me that they were fully involved and that what I did was a real enrichment for them. They made me understand that my work would help the company to make real-life decisions in order to become more competitive. I think, good communication and the exchange of information were the key pillars of successful project development.

    Andres Rodriguez
    Master in Management & Innovation, TUM Track
  • The course covered all the fundamentals and provided me with a broad knowledge base. Several use cases were discussed, and I was even able to create my own cryptocurrency with a few lines of code. I would highly recommend this course to anyone seeking to gain knowledge and looking for potential opportunities in the blockchain space.

  • I liked that the Specialization included step-by-step exercises and tutorials. Unlike exercises where a student can succeed by simply doing as directed, the assignments foster active learning. The assignments were where I discovered whether I truly understood the material. This Specialization produces real learning.

    Former Participant in the Specialization
  • Venture capital and private equity are rather difficult sectors to access. It is tricky to understand the details and the mechanisms behind the scenes without talking to experienced professionals. The CPEA’s multi-faceted approach not only provides academic analysis of the industry as a whole, but also sheds light on the complex construct from a practitioner’s perspective.

    Philip Schultheiß
    Principal, AM Ventures
  • The course is for the Ag professionals from the Ag professionals. It is a perfect environment not just to stay up to date but to generate new ideas with sparring partners on the same level, from the same industry but slightly different disciplines, opening up completely new horizons. I enjoyed every second of it!

    Milica Perisic
    Graduate Smart Farming & IoT in Agriculture (2022)
  • It was very interesting to learn about the various factors of factual and human performance requirements and their effects. Especially in the operating room, where work is often done under time pressure and with changing team members, errors can be consciously avoided through good patient safety management.

  • SITE has not only given me a deeper understanding of the core elements of successful strategizing, but has also provided me with valuable concepts and tools that enable me to transfer this knowledge to my everyday professional life. In particular, I liked the combination of teaching and practice-oriented workshops.

    Dr. Anke Susanne Hoffmann
    Director Strategy & Digital Management Audio / Penguin Random House Verlagsgruppe GmbH
  • One of my decision criteria to join the Executive MBA program at the TUM was based on the modular setup offered. The split into modules which mostly took place Thursday to Tuesday helped me a lot to manage my full-time job, focus on the Executive MBA and still spend time with my family as I have two kids.

    Mandy Deimel
    Class of 2020
  • The modules of the Executive MBA in Business & IT are organized in a way you can get the best learning experience. For me this was translated into a broader business knowledge and leadership skills that help me improve my collaboration, problem solving and decision making with marketing and other business domains resulting in more value delivered to the organization.

    Gerardo Ayala Solano
    Class of 2024
  • Having over twenty years of experience in both technical and management roles, I always found that I was missing certain tools in my ‘toolbox’ – especially when it came to working with senior executives. After attending the Executive MBA in Business & IT at the TUM, I am confident about engaging in deeper discussions because I now use these newly gained tools.
