MSc Project Management - Batch of 2024

4.3

Good place to meet lots of people and acquire knowledge.

Tips: I experienced a huge cultural shift after coming here. There are students from all over the world in here. I am fully satisfied with my Master's course and the country is so comfortable and the people here are very friendly. I am happy to be here and experience all the good things here.

Likes (Part time work): There are many part-time jobs that are available in our locality and I am currently working at subways now. I am getting 20 hours of work every week. But getting a job on campus might be a difficult thing. With many assignment dues, it is sometimes difficult to manage both part-time and studies.
