Excellent experience to study at this University.
Pursuing my Bachelor’s Degree in Shipping and Logistics Management in Tanzania was a rewarding academic journey that equipped me with a solid understanding of global trade, maritime transport, and supply chain systems. The program strengthened my analytical and problem-solving skills while exposing me to the operational realities of the logistics industry.
The university is nice, with a nice course structure. The administration can be a little better. the cost is a bit high for a full-time MBA.
