MBA International Business - Batch of 2025
4
University of Birmingham has great curriculum and the faculty are highly experienced.
Tips: Students should practice in their Bachelor's so that they do not have a hectic schedule in Masters. Doing international business management is very good from here. You get a lot of training, and the teachers are very friendly and teach each and everything. Public transportation is very good. The buses are cheaper, at $.65 we can go from anywhere to anywhere, and it is very cheap, easy, and convenient. It is also very convenient to go to London. Overall, I am satisfied with my experiences.
Dislikes (Indian Food): It is difficult to find Indian food in this country. There are a few Indian stores, but they are expensive. There are a few Asian stores that have a wider selection of food, but they are also expensive.
