If I had the chance to turn back time and choose my bachelor program again, I would definitely make the same decision without hesitation. Studying at DEOS provided me with a strong foundation in economics – both in terms of knowledge and practical tools – which have played a substantial role in my career ever since. But there was a lot more to it than that. Complementary coursework in different disciplines - always in line with the latest developments - helped me gain a broader perspective and a well-rounded understanding of the field. Beyond the academic content, the program helped me develop key soft skills that are increasingly valued in modern work environments and have proven essential throughout my career.

The department is not only strongly committed to preparing students for the future of work but also stands out for the personal support it offers. Beyond the academic excellence of its faculty — all leading experts in their fields — what truly sets DEOS apart is the genuine care and guidance provided to students from the outset. This feels less like a traditional institution and more like a second family, dedicated to helping each individual grow and succeed.

For anyone considering pursuing a career in economics, I would highly recommend the bachelor program of DEOS. I am convinced that I wouldn't be where I am today without the foundation the department provided and that is why it will always hold a special place in my heart.
