Some reviews from past students:

"This course was one of the most useful and interesting courses I have ever had during my university studies. All the classes were straight to the point, covering the most important aspects of negotiations. I believe the knowledge I acquired in this course can be used for my everyday life. I would recommend everyone taking this course, as I have never realised the power negotiation actually has until now."

"You don't know what you don't know. This course helped me see that many discussions I engaged in in the past were in fact unnecessary as there was no common ground to be found in the first place. I could have instead focused on more promising endeavours and could have used my time and resources more efficiently. This was just one of the takeaways, but a very valuable one thanks to this course."

"A great addition to anyones development. Negotiations are kind of daily business, if you think about it. So take the opportunity to improve your professional and personal negotiation skills."
