Germany Bachelor in Psychology ‘14 My word for IE University: Unexpected

I grew up in Germany and my mother is a consultant and my dad a medical doctor. I went to boarding school for 5 years and spent my junior year in the United States. I graduated from Salem International College in 2009. I always wanted to become a medical doctor and started a nursing apprenticeship after I graduated but I quickly realized that the hospital wasn't the right choice for me.

I had friends who were already studying Business at IE University. I visited them in Segovia for a week and I was amazed by the atmosphere, starting with my arrival in Spain, and mostly by the circle of friends and the other students who welcomed me warmly. I heard about the chance to study Psychology with a focus in business, so I was highly interested in applying. I did not really know what to expect, but talking to advisors at my school, they highly recommended this bachelor. I was then looking into the courses, and did research about the job expectations.

IE University has helped me to find my future pathway. Coming from a very clinical idea of a job environment, I have now developed a different point of view and found talents in another area which I never thought I would be able to work in. IE University and its professors focus on your strengths and weaknesses and how you develop throughout your Bachelor.
