Very helpful course dur to good activity based assignments

Working in groups with people all over the world is hard but well worth it. Learnt so much about social issues and new ways of working

Excellent start to the specialisation which generates interest and gets the adrenaline going.

As a business management student with a strong interest in this matter, I found the course really useful for those who are rather begginers in this subject.
