WBS MBA Programme Review
Anonymous rated 2 out of 5 stars
The depth of the courses fail to match my expectations when considering my future goals. Also, lecture hours are so prolonged that I rarely could assimilate much of the deliveries. Appallingly too, You end up having the same lecture in different course names with the same lecturer featuring in over three courses.
