Testimonials

  • Annie Chu - Co-Founder, QnS Consultancy Limited, Hong Kong
    Masters in Business Administration (Built Environment - Construction and or/Real Estate)
    "The programme equipped me to progress from a professional quantity surveyor into a business entrepreneur. I fully utilised the knowledge I gained from the UCEM MBA in my start-up company from setting up business strategies and team-building to marketing, accounting and financial control. I obtained useful knowledge and extended my network to other countries as well. Since graduating, I have set up a company. It seems to me that the UCEM MBA programme was tailor-made for me to acquire all the necessary skills and knowledge for overcoming the difficulties encountered during the start-up process. My studies provided the perfect opportunity for me to rehearse my company start-up before actually doing it."
  • Alison Andrews - Programme Leader
    Masters in Business Administration (Built Environment - Construction and or/Real Estate)
    "Our online MBA Construction and Real Estate programme combines quality and international excellence with the flexibility to enhance your ability to successfully perform within various business environments. The programmes will help you sharpen your existing skills and acquire new knowledge and fresh perspectives into your professional goals. You can manage your studies around other personal and professional commitments, with support from our student services’ teams and our body of experienced academic tutors and practitioners"
