"A qualification in business administration gives
graduates opportunities abound. From start-ups and local companies, to
non-profits, to working for global companies. I had a good experience in SP
Business Admin as I managed to balance both my academics and student life, and
that gave me the best of both worlds - intelligence and being street smart. In
addition, I managed to gain immense understanding of international business
and international exposure such as a community service project to
Thailand, hosting international students from Thailand through exchange
programs and organized a Photography Exhibition graced by the Ambassador of
Italy titled, "A tale between two cities - Singapore and Venice". The
strong international business foundation has turned me into an effective
business leader."
