Meet one of our students from Zambia
"I am doing an MSc in Engineering Management. It has allowed me to appreciate concepts that are relevant to a global business leader in the engineering context (concepts like globalisation, project management, entrepreneurship and product development). The various module leaders have been very supportive and provide feedback when required for assessments and such."
