Once upon a time, an MBA was a requirement for those looking to secure executive management positions. Today, it is a choice – a good one. The careers of Sheryl Sandberg, Indra Nooyi, Melinda Gates, and Tim Cook prove this.
These industry leaders have worked tirelessly to better the world through philanthropy, public advocacy, green initiatives and more. Tomorrow’s generation of leaders are encouraged to do the same.
Sami Abuzarifa knew the path he had to take in order to fulfil his dreams of becoming an entrepreneur, so he enrolled for the MBA in Communication and Public Relations programme. The programme teaches students to adapt to a new environment and develop relevant solutions fit for new scenarios.
Another important component of the programme is its focus on developing soft skills and abilities to cooperate with people from diverse backgrounds, cultures and working styles. For Sami, the exchanges with his peers, professors and guest speakers played a huge part in his learning trajectory at Limkokwing University.
