📊 Core signals

📚 Curriculum & structure

The curriculum covers standard business foundations but tends to be:

• More theoretical
• Less industry-integrated
• Less flexible than private Western programs

Documentation is available but not always detailed.

🌍 Recognition & mobility

• Degree is formally recognized within the EU
• Direct transfer to elite programs is possible but not common
• Strong Master’s performance is often required to upgrade signaling

❓ Known unknowns

• Quality of instruction varies by department and year
• Employer perception outside the region is inconsistent

These are material uncertainties that justify a Yellow label.

🧠 Reality check

This program can be a strategic stepping stone, not a destination brand.

Best results come from:

• Strong grades
• External internships
• Clear post-graduation planning

🟡 Why this is Yellow

The Yellow label reflects:

• Mixed outcome data
• Adequate but not strong signaling
• Dependence on student-driven upgrades

Yellow means “proceed with strategy”, not “avoid.”
