What do our students say? 
1610 International Business Management Cohort
It was in the middle of a recent networking event that it dawned on me how lucky I am to have received a university education from BUV. Approaching businesspeople with a level of confidence unimaginable 3 years ago, I was sharing with them about life insurance – the industry I’m working in, expressing my opinions on current affairs, and exchanging contact information.
I would say my experience with BUV, including both the coursework, internships and activities with BUV Dance Club, has got me where I am today. And I, as a proud BUV alumna, am looking forward to owning my future career.
1710 International Business Management Cohort
The first reason why I chose BUV and its International Business Management was that the diversity in international perspectives would help me to observe and learn. Up to now, I think that BUV is the best choice for students who are interested in the international learning environment.
When studying at BUV, I am so impressed by the learning environment, not only because of its iconic architecture, but also the learning and teaching approach which is up-to-date and open-minded.
After graduation, BUV students will acknowledge that the university has brought us competitive advantages as they are supported to join internships during their study to acquire knowledge and professional skills right before starting their career.
