Masters Degrees in Western Europe

I am so thankful for my experience at Instituto Franklin-UAH. I graduated with a master's degree in ESL and Bilingual education in 2025. I would like to highlight a very special person, Iulia, who not only helped me succeed in the program as a young single mom, but who also helped me navigate some very difficult circumstances while far away from home. She did not hesitate to become an important part of our support system. I truly do not know where we would be today without her!

Thank you to this school for all the opportunities it provides, the excellent teachers, the great network to start with, for helping us make the most of Paris, and for inspiring us every day to be the best professionals we can be.

I completed the MA in Contemporary Art in London. My time at Sotheby’s gave me both an entry point into and an understanding of the global art world. During my Master’s studies, I not only gained an incredible amount of academic knowledge, but was also introduced to the London art world and began building my career. In my work, I look at artworks all the time, and having the ability to critically assess and understand them is very important. The skill of visual analysis, as well as developing an eye, was a major focus during my studies, and I am glad that the tutors paid so much attention to it. We were constantly looking at different works and were expected to discuss them. We were also encouraged to go to exhibitions. You learn this skill as a student and then continue to refine it during your professional life.

I had been wanting to study art history at Sotheby’s Institute for a long time and had always been drawn to the Institute’s MA Contemporary Art. I eventually started with a short course, which gave me a solid base and the chance to delve into a subject I’d always been passionate about. I instantly loved the Institute’s teaching approach—placing students in front of artworks, encouraging dialogue, and connecting theory with real experience. After my initial course. I truly believe I could not have received a better education. I constantly recommend the program to others! The MA not only provided me with in-depth knowledge of contemporary art, but it also strengthened my critical thinking, offered a clear structure of how the art world functions, and introduced me to the wide range of professional paths within it.

I did the MA Art Business at the London campus because of its course reputation, faculty, and the depth and breadth of the program. I was looking for a course that would give me a broad but thorough introduction to the commercial art world. The MA Art Business program at Sotheby’s Institute inspired me to explore contemporary art, dream big, and nurture my confidence in international cross-cultural networking, which gave me the encouragement to find my path in the art business world. I would recommend this program to those with an interest in working in the commercial art world and collaborating with art industry players or to those who have an interest in collecting art.

My time at Sotheby’s Institute was deeply enriching, and a big part of that was thanks to the incredible professors. Their expertise, support, and ability to connect theory with real-world examples made the learning experience truly engaging and inspiring. I loved how the MA Luxury Business program covered a wide range of luxury sectors—from hospitality and jewelry to fashion and art—and explored the evolving definition of luxury across cultures and time periods. Being in London really enhanced the experience, as the city itself is a global hub for art, fashion, and luxury. I especially appreciated the immersive learning. We had the opportunity to visit incredible places like the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in London, Rathfinny Wine Estate in Sussex, Van Cleef & Arpels School in Paris, and Mandarin Oriental in Milan. These experiences offered invaluable insight into how luxury is created, curated, and communicated in different contexts. In addition to the site visits, we were also joined by a range of guest speakers from across the luxury sectors, including areas like jewelry and hospitality, who shared valuable insights into their careers, challenges, and lessons learned—adding a real-world dimension that made the learning feel even more relevant and inspiring. I also really enjoyed taking electives from other programs—my course on art forgery, for example, was especially eye-opening and gave me a new lens through which to view authenticity in the luxury space.

I’ve been here for a term now and I’ve had such a great time. The classes are small and intimate, and you get hands on experience with teachers who are experts in their field (I am in a class of 4 students), whilst also having 1 hour and 40 minutes of Spanish classes everyday! It’s a great opportunity to learn Spanish whilst also getting a Masters in Business Administration. There are no courses like this!

Studying the Master’s Degree in Finance at Masaryk University has been one of the most enriching experiences of my life. The program provided a strong balance between theoretical frameworks and practical applications, helping me deeply understand core topics such as corporate finance, financial analysis, accounting, and international economics. The professors are knowledgeable, supportive, and always willing to engage in discussions that challenge your thinking. I particularly appreciated the diverse classroom environment, where students from various backgrounds brought different perspectives to financial topics. Beyond academics, living in Brno was a unique experience. The city is student-friendly, affordable, and culturally vibrant. I also had the opportunity to work part-time, which allowed me to gain real-world experience and apply what I learned in class. Overall, this program not only helped me grow academically and professionally but also personally. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to broaden their financial knowledge in a global context. Thank you, Masaryk University and Econ MUNI.

Thank you for your kind words and good luck with everything!

My time at the faculty of economics was definitely a good one. After arriving in a new country, I needed some time to warm up but, fortunately, I know some Czechs who kindly included me in the Czech life and culture. Although the level of complexity was not as high as I expected and as I was used to from my Bachelor's, I really appreciate the practical approach during the courses. Working with real-life cases, projects and learn useful management tools really improved my understanding of these topics. Overall, it was a good time and I am thankful for the support from the uni and professors during the courses and administrative obstacles.

I studied full 2-year master program at Masaryk University and had the best time of my life!

Thank you, Gyasi!

My time in Rome was not just a visit; it was an immersion into a living testament of human achievement and endurance. The city's timeless allure left me enriched, and I carry the echoes of its beauty, history, and vibrancy with me. Spread the word: Rome is not just a destination; it's an odyssey of the senses, an experience that transcends travel and becomes a cherished chapter in the book of life.

In my two years I’ve spent here I’ve found a welcoming community, filled with people from different backgrounds. The faculty is amazing and you will feel supported every step of your career. John Cabot university is also full of clubs to have fun and meet new people!

I have had an amazing time in Rome and enjoyed all the culture and food. John Cabot has given me the chance to make connections from all over the world and still feel like I'm at home. I have loved my marketing classes where I compare Italian and american ads.

As a transfer from a U.S. university I had a smooth transition as all my credits were transferred and I was already used to the US system. They offered a wide range of classes to pick from and the clubs and extracurricular enriched my career.

The opportunities, the experience and memories made at this university is something not many have the privilege to have in their lives. Beginning with the city, the culture, people and food it makes you feel at home. Not only the safe atmosphere, the professors and students develop a sense of family that I do not think I can find anywhere else.

i loved my time here the city is amazing the people are great and the language is super easy to understand. i recommend that everyone will do a semester abroad in rome the cause it changed my life y it will change yours.

I learned different cultures while having people with similar interest in school but they were not really interested in it but they didn't have a lot to say to them in north africa and i miei idoli e non mangiano la pizza e tu non
