It was an honor to be a member of the NEXT community, and to graduate with an MBA. I learned a great deal of academic exposure, expanded my horizons, and established the foundations for success in my career. I believe I made the right decision at the right time especially during the pandemic to enhance my academic qualifications. It is time to say a quick goodbye to NEXT, thanks a million for all the memories that meant the world to me, and for all the academic and life lessons, you taught me throughout my MBA journey!

FUTURE IS ABOUT SMART PEOPLE. It’s about how capable & relevant you are in changing times. As much as products have an expiry date, your knowledge, skills & capabilities have one too. This means you need to constantly upskill & reskill yourself with either qualifications or skill development programs.

I am Yenuka, currently employed at Emirates Airlines U.A.E as a Licenced Aircraft Technician. I have always desired to upgrade my academic qualifications while not taking the discreet in my professional responsibilities into accountability. Thus the accomplishment of selecting an institute and choosing an appropriate academic qualification was quite challenging for me. At a time I was doing my research on, which institute I would pursue: and NEXT came into play as per a recommendation of one of my best friends. I am so grateful to the entire NEXT team for all the success I’ve been granted with the curriculum, academic engagement, professional approach, informative education integration, and high-quality education service delivery. It’s needless to mention the dedication and the efforts you commit to elevating the Education System to the next level are much appreciated. Thank you NEXT! Wish you all the very best and may you be strengthened and expanded and eligible to support many more young generations’ dreams and career victories.

I came upon the International MBA program offered by the Next Education Group in partnership University in the UK, at a time when I was looking for new opportunities that could help me broaden my understanding of managing complex business organizations. From the very outset, the program structure created by the NEXT Education Group offered clarity around the study program and its objectives. The MBA program goes beyond mostly traditional MBA program structures, offering a comprehensive view into dynamic fields of key business interest. I particularly enjoyed the course units on Human Resources Management, and Strategic Leadership and Organizational Transformation – particularly given the lecturers’ keen interest towards making the learning practical, interactive, and reflective of individual beliefs and practices. I highly recommend the program to anyone who is seeking a flexible learning experience.

NEXT was recommended to me by a very close friend who did his Master's in Supply Chain at NEXT. Although initially I was nervous about starting an MBA and just wanted to finish it, soon I realized I could learn a lot from it. I looked forward to the classes, and the faculty was very friendly and helpful. Still, I have a close relationship with lecturers and they are only a WhatsApp or a call away for educational and even professional matters. Even though Covid and lockdowns happened, there were no delays to the course completion. It was the best decision to choose NEXT and I will strongly recommend it to two minds.

Setting out to find the right academic qualification, that encompasses your aspirations as well as helps to propel your professional goals can be a frightening experience. There are just so many universities and affiliated institutions out there, that promise so much, but deliver so little – in terms of educational programs offered; both in-person and online. The moment I was made aware of the MBA offered through the Next Education Group, there was no doubt in my mind that this was the qualification I wanted and indeed – required, to break through that metaphorical “glass ceiling” holding back my professional career. No other graduate and post-graduate program came as well-recommended as the likes of this academic qualification. In summary, if you are passionate about excelling in your respective business field and are driven to challenge yourself at the highest level of academia, all with the backing of world-class educators and support staff: then seek no further than the MBA awarded through the Next Education Group.
