Academic Experience: Doing an exchange at the Welingkar Institute gives me the opportunity to get to know the Indian education system and the daily life of the people, Mumbai and whole India.
More than one year ago, I decided to apply for an exchange program with the Welingkar Institute of Management Research and Development in Mumbai, because I wanted to experience something completely new and different than my little world in Germany. Veronika Storch (Bamberg University, Germany)
Academic experience: I discovered many differences in the teaching system, such as a higher work/practice orientation, smaller classes, and more assignments during the entire trimester. Since the presentations usually had to be done in a group, I got to know many students very quickly and made some really good friends.
