While doing a training in hotel management in Frankfurt, Germany I learned that the Finance Manager at the hotel is an IMC-alumni and he strongly advised me to consider studying here. When visiting the Open House I was highly impressed by the international flair, the comprehensive curriculum and the exceptional enthusiasm of students and faculty alike and so I decided to enrol. After having done an exchange semester in Geneva I am now spending my Practical Training Semester in the field of hotel consulting in Warsaw. Here I can already see how well the IMC University of Applied Sciences Krems has prepared me for my future career: the studies at the IMC Krems allow me to learn general business skills while already specializing in my personal field of interest. And that is exactly what companies are looking for these days.
