"GBSB Global met my expectations; the classes and teaching methods really appealed to me and made learning fun. During my studies, we have had entrepreneurs, investments bankers, and company owners give presentations on a variety of subjects. Their knowledge and wisdom have given me valuable insight into their professional experience and have provided me with tips on how to navigate the challenges I may face in the future. I really love that GBSB Global provides students with a practical knowledge that can be taken directly into the real world, and I appreciate that they do not overemphasize theory that is not even relevant today."

"The MBA degree at GBSB Global is for those people who already have gained work experience and want to build on that, bring their education to the next level, and get a unique international network. During my MBA in Marketing Management I had an opportunity to attend lectures with professors who gave me essential career advice, as they themselves were professionals in what they do. I have also met people from across the world: they showed me different point of view on many global topics. I believe the MBA at GBSB Global provided me with everything necessary for a high professional career. If you have the chance to study MBA – you should always go for it."
