I was fooled by my consultant that it is the best university. I could have prepared for GRE and opted for the USA. Also, my consultant said this is the only country to get 3 years f work visa once I get graduated but getting a job without formal and professional work experience is tough in the country. also, the support for career development is poor.
Course Curriculum :
My course was on international Business without any core specialization. The teachings for some modules are insightful and excellent. However, for some courses, if professors were available to teach, it would have been great. Moreover, if the professor were giving supportive and constructive feedback. It could have been satisfied. If they provided us with time to participate in activities within the university. It would have been great. if they integrated all the courses and made them relevant it would have been best. I learned the definition of International business and theories relevant to it. The professors did not teach or provide lectures. All they said is to study by yourself. Only International Human Resources Management and Managing people with the organization were excellent courses. Professional development courses are a waste of money Business Analytics is a useless course in this university.
Exams :
My scores: IELTS 7.5; class minimum score: IELTS 6.5. Only IELTS or TOEFL or SAT is required.

Zero support and zero assistance for business masters. They are developing their facilities and CDES is integrating with companies for internship roles and The library provides workshops from communication skills, writing skills. The university provides 24/7 free WIFI we will have photocopiers in the campus and they have their career app and website. we can log in for cv free checkups and applying for jobs but most of them are for locals and less for international students.
