STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
SALEH ABDALLA, Egypt
"The school has met my expectations; the classes and teaching format have really appealed to me. Over the course of my studies, we have had entrepreneurs, investments bankers, and business owners give seminars to various Bachelor classes. They have given us valuable insight into their professional experience and tips on how to manage the challenges we may face in the future. What I love about the school is that they provide us with practical knowledge that is necessary to be successful in the real world, and they don’t put too much emphasis on theory that is not relevant to today."
