Student & Alumni Comments
"I enjoyed the international environment, the lively location in Milan city center and a global network of recognised professors. "
"NABA is a good school, with many good teachers and an interesting curriculum. However, each and every student is responsible for their own learning, and there is little assistance offered from the staff unless you specifically ask for it."
"It was a good experience but I didn't have the opportunity to charge a broad set of skills, as I had wished. It was a lot about creativity and in that way it was really positive. The career services does not really work and I was expecting a closer link to the companies, as it should be."
