Such a great teaching method.
London studies
Being in the heart and centre of London, in the most riches and diverse city for business culture, studies were really tailored to the most current affairs to stimulate our understanding and learning. Studying management from a global industrial perspective enhanced how we, as students, could apply the theory into practice through our universities business and corporate partnerships.
Fun but lacking something
I studied at Strategy First University in Myanmar (Burma) and my school has partnership with Pearson college from UK. Study experience at my university is something like a distance learning from a university where i will be graduate and certified so in term of experience i don't really know about activites but teaching and knowledge about individual subject is quiet amazing and fun to learn.
