Student Stories

I initially chose this university because they offer the program in English and it only takes three years, which helps save time. But what I didn’t expect was how international it would be. My classmates come from all over the world – the U.S., Africa, Europe, and Asia – and bring different perspectives to every discussion. Since I was the youngest in my class, I learned a lot from my classmates who had work experience in different countries and industries. That was one of the most valuable things I’ve gained from my studies.

I’m currently a transfer student in the BBA 3 in General Business. The school was incredibly helpful in transferring my credits and answering all my questions, making the transition smooth. Beyond academics, GBSB Global offers a complete international experience. It pushes me out of my comfort zone and prepares me for the real world. It’s truly a global journey – challenging, but in the best way possible.
