2 MEA provided me with a much welcomed mental framework for the myriad of concepts I was discovering in the EA world. Also, hearing about others experience with EA was fascinating. I enjoyed our assertive group and its passionate discussions with lecturers and practitioners. The informal setting, the critical minds, the green surroundings, the nice meals, etc. all contributed to making MEA a unique experience with a definite impact. Antoon Goderis ICT Architect at KBC To me, this Master was a wonderful cocktail of professors coming up with the academic foundation, experienced practitioners sprinkling hints of pragmatism, and motivated fellow students with whom I held animated discussions. The structure of the programme was outstanding, with courses ranging from a company s strategy, across to various architectural disciplines, and up to governance. This Master gave me a good overall picture and has made me an even better match for my new position at Colruyt Group. Marc Vandeperre Division Manager Architecture at Colruyt Group At the end of an enriching rollercoaster ride, holding your breath when discovering new concepts, exploring in detail the whole EA landscape, experiencing a multitude of new insights, being guided by subject-matter experts with an academic or business background sharing their experience, viewing the world as you knew it from a different angle during a looping, longing for a bigger female touch, enjoying the exchange of ideas and company of your co-riders at every turn, getting dizzy from all these impressions you just want to ride again.
