Testimonial​

As an MCBS student, my journey was filled with valuable challenges that contributed to my growth. I believe that success is often a result of perseverance, and that each setback brings valuable lessons that lead to eventual success. Through this, I have learned commitment and responsibility. One unforgettable experience was a project in my Entrepreneurship course, where my group developed "The Book Lounge." We participated in NBO’s award for SME ideas and won second prize. This achievement boosted my courage and confidence. Communication and research skills are essential for a lecturer, and these experiences have given me the confidence to speak in front of large audiences.My advice to future graduates: Be serious and sincere about your studies. Be grateful and enjoy the journey with its stress and rewards. Use this opportunity to develop your skills because you will need them in your career.
