It’s online, but I really enjoy the program! The professors generally care about the students experience, and the program is crafted the ensure student success. The topics are relevant and helpful as well.
Good but there's always something to improve
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
I loved the on campus experience and overall how the university quickly adapted to an online model due to COVID-19. I believe there is room for improvement in the academic quality and some professor's methodology. At times it felt it lacked rigor and was rather shallow.
Awesome place to learn management
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
Amazing experience. The college have a world class facility and qualified lecturers to help the students. Beautiful campus and good place to learn. The diversity is good among the students. Will definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a good institution to do their master education. I really loved it.
