FHNW in Olten/Basel

Hey everyone

Just curious, maybe there is someone in this forum who is studying or will start this September at FHNW in Olten or Basel?

Yes, I am studying in Olten

I am going to start next year! Are you enrolling in international management?

Nice, I hope you will enjoy it

I'm doing an MSc in Business Information Systems

I will be in MSc International Management do you know by any chance if there is a FHNW forum or smth like that, where I can find more students. I have a question about the books, should I buy them from the internet, or maybe I can find someone who would like to sell them...

Nice you're starting in september?

I don't know of any FHNW specific forum. You will get to know your fellow students on the starting day.

Regarding the books, there is a website called studentbooks.ch with an integrated marketplace. Maybe you can find some books there. Or ask on the ETHZ/UNIZ marketplace ( www.marktplatz.uzh.ch ).

I bought most of my books from amazon (DE and US). They also sell used books quite cheaply and even the new books are often much cheaper than in swiss stores.

Oh thanks for the info, I will give it a try Yes I ́m starting in September, but I also have a PreMaster in August. So not much time left for me to find books, buy them and read, and I still don ́t know the updated booklist for 2013

I have studied in 2009 .

Hello All,

I have also applied for the Masters in Business Information systems for next year. They said they will contact me for interview.

Anyone knows what they ask in the interview.Please let me know the same.

Thanks,

Prajakta

I finished my Master's degree at FHNW. Good program, good teachers, I enjoyed it very much!

Thank you ! for telling.

What did they ask you in the interview ?

Also how are the job prospects after the course ? Do companies come on campus drive for selecting the interns ...

Do let me know.

Thanks for your reply

I cannot remember exactly what they asked in the interview as that was a couple of years ago. I think you do not need to worry too much, people are very nice and helpful there. Well, I suppose you have genuine enthusiasm for study, right?

As to job, I remember there are several campus events during my study. Some of my classmates got interns with big companies.

Good luck!

Thank you for the reply...Yes i like to study..i was working previously for couple of years after my first masters..but i now feel like upgrading my knowledge with the latest terminologies...

I had a similar situation like you. After I got my 1st MSc and worked for several years, I wished to expand my knowledge. So I think you not need to worry about your interview at all.

Yeah..i know..i left my job last year to come to switzerland with my husband...Looking for job for past 1 year...no luck. problems due to language and work permit.so came upon this course..thought it is good to pursue a course which has a good credibility..This is a very good option instead of sitting at home.

I just finished my Masters at FHNW in Basel.

Well, I have to say the study doesn't guarantee you a job. To find a job in CH largely depends on luck. For me, the study gave me a good chance to get use to the Swiss way of thinking and I also made some good friends there. Btw, the program is taught in English (at least in my years).

Hi There,

I'm starting in Aug/Sep 2014. Anyone else?

Does any Almni have good tips to succeed?

The FHNW is also offering a Bachelors in Business Information Technology from September 2014, all in English : http://www.fhnw.ch/business/wi?set_language=en
