Experience at HWU, Dubai Campus
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
I got great connections and networking opportunities externally(in the field by participating in IWFM events) while studying. HWU in the UAE region must contact potential employers to improve the chances of opportunities for the students to get hired.
Good Experience
