Student Stories
I think an MBA is the best decision you can make if you already have a lot of work experience. Secondly, you get incredible insights from professional professors who have worked in big companies and have a wealth of experience. They offer different perspectives on different topics and opportunities, which is really valuable.
I chose to do an MBA because I’m planning to open my own business in the future, and I think there’s no better way to do it, because first I want to get some experience, especially in big companies. The studies will be done and then, when I have my experience, I can do it in my own business.
