Anna Dittman
Master's student"I was positively surprised by how well these two Masters go together. The Economic Psychology Master’s in Tilburg really deepened and enriched my knowledge with practical experience. Especially thanks to the guest lectures and case studies from real companies during the course 'Psychology and Marketing'. I enjoyed the courses in Osnabrück as well, because you look at companies and the work environment from a cross-cultural perspective. It’s designed to build intercultural competence in the workforce, which is something I really value.”
