Arden University Berlin MSc Data Science, is it worth the risk?
I have an unconditional offer for the 1 year MSc Data Science at Arden University Berlin. My degree pathway is HND in Computing + BSc Computer Science top up and I have had problems with German public universities because my HND is being treated as vocational.
Arden is basically my only realistic option for Germany right now, but I am honestly worried about its reputation. I have seen people on Reddit and Facebook calling it a degree mill and I also haven’t found many Arden Berlin graduates on LinkedIn who got full time jobs in Germany.
My biggest concern is what happens after the 18 month job seeking period if I still don’t find a job.
Can I switch to something like self employment, another degree, Ausbildung or any other residence pathway to stay in Germany? Or would I basically have to leave?
If anyone actually studied at Arden Berlin, especially MSc Data Science, I’d really appreciate hearing what happened after graduation.
