What our graduates say
"The doors were always open and we could ask questions if we didn't understand something. I always thought of professors as wearing suits and ties. At the HRW, they wear shirts and jeans - just like us. That made it easier to seek contact."
Halil Ibrahim Dogan (Business Informatics graduate at the HRW)
