Hear from our Students / Graduates

One year of MBA in MDIS has truly transformed my life. I had the chance to learn from the most inspiring lecturers, to be a part of a very close-knit group of friends, to create many great memories with them, and moreover, to discover abilities and ambitions that I never thought I had. Of course there are still many goals that I have not achieved; many things I regret that I did or did not do, but choosing this course would never be one of those things I regretted.

Learning is a lifelong process. And pursing an MBA in International Marketing with Bangor University is one of the critical steps in taking my marketing career to the next level.

This year-long programme also gave me the opportunity to forge close friendships with my fellow classmates from different parts of the world. In doing so, we get ourselves acquainted with different cultures and perspectives.
