I am Dimitrii from Ukraine, and I have a master diploma in Economics. Today, I am a first year Master student at MSB, majoring in Business Management. What impressed me from day one was the learning approach MSB promotes. The teaching methods used by its highly qualified faculty from around the world are all about interactive pedagogy. They include: working on case studies, group projects, presentations, and more. I already feel how this process is transforming and developing my vision and perception of the business world.As a result, I feel more confident and better prepared for the future.

International Opportunities:For A Global Career

I have had mainly good experiences at MSB, beginning with the start smart program that helped us improve our Business English and the entrepreneurship competition which prepared us for the load of work we are to face throughout our Master program. We are taught with interesting North American teaching methods (group work, case studies...) by an international faculty who takesthe time to listen to student’s concerns. As for students’ life, it is very vibrant at MSB since they encourage and support students in launching their clubs. MSB is also one of the few universities who provides scholarships to highly talented students in addition to launching a diversity scholarship program to attract more students from sub-saharian Africa. [...] MSB is always looking for a way to do things better and to provide students with many of opportunities.

www.smu.tn I info@smu.tnI am Nesrine Guellouz, graduate of marketing studies and I think that MSB offers the best Master program in Tunisia since it is an opportunity for Tunisian students to follow studies with international standards without having to leave the country. The MBM’s major advantages are that it teaches global Business studies in English Language and that it offers the first and only master’s program accredited by AMBA (London) in Africa.
