Student Stories
Toby Bradley
BA (Hons) Business & Accountancy
It’s a great way to study if you’re looking for flexibility. It was challenging to balance a full-time job with my degree but once I was in a routine, it was much easier to manage everything. Online learning has actually helped me become very good with time management and given me the ability to prioritise tasks.
Oscar Bustillo
MSc Project Management student, Arden University Berlin
I have enjoyed doing my master’s here because it’s not like a traditional university where you sit in a classroom and a lecturer talks and you write down everything. I like that when we come here there’s actually a discussion and we do a lot of analysis.
Djenabu Balde
BA (Hons) Business
The learning style at Arden makes sense for me because of the flexibility, and it gave me the ability to make managerial decisions in my own business. I would highly recommend Arden University to anybody.
Murdo Lamont
What I love about Arden University is being made to feel part of a new kind of global learning.
