The MPMGBMF experience has been incredible. Learning from brilliant professors has been invaluable. I've also had amazing opportunities to gain hands-on experience with entrepreneurship, including participation in the Metro Challenge, which was even shortlisted, and also an Incubation Programme. These experiences have truly deepened my knowledge in global business and marketing, providing practical skills and a real entrepreneurial edge. I highly recommend this programme for anyone looking for a dynamic and practical postgraduate degree.
