I chose to study the MBA (Digital) because it’s future focused which I think is critical given how rapidly the world changed throughout the pandemic and how unprepared we were for it. Listening to peers who are completing degrees with other institutions has highlighted that this course is much more engaging and provides a lot more insight and understanding.
