"Having researched private academic institutions, I concluded that MBS College of Crete was the best choice. On the one hand, it gave me the opportunity to study what I had always wanted while staying in my hometown; on the other hand, the programme of study it offered was among the best compared with similar colleges elsewhere in Greece. If I could choose again, I would choose MBS College of Crete once more! Throughout my studies, the College's academic staff were always by my side in practice, ensuring the best possible academic and personal development. At the same time, through the activities I took part in (seminars, career days, and visits to external organisations and centres), it helped me build a professional network and see the profession of psychologist in practice."
