I was motivated by my desire to learn and grow as an individual.

After completing the programme, I experienced career progression. People started seeking my advice for their businesses. It also laid a strong foundation for my current pursuit of a DBA, and I'm about to start a new business in Corporate Training. Studying and working simultaneously was made easy by Aventis and the University. I loved the weekend daytime classes, which allowed me to focus on my studies while building bonds with my classmates. The lecturers and staff at Roehampton University and Aventis were helpful and made learning enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Roehampton University to others, especially senior business leaders. The curriculum is well-structured and relevant. During the programme, I faced the challenge of managing two businesses simultaneously. However, with the support from the university and Aventis, I overcame the difficulties. I'm still in touch with some of my classmates, and I'm excited to work on a new business venture with another Aventis alumnus. Overall, my journey with Roehampton University was transformative, providing me with valuable skills and opening doors to new opportunities.

Most students at Aventis are working professionals, and our part-time MBAs in Singapore allow them to progress in their careers without sacrificing their studies.

Besides salary increment or promotion, an MBA can help you develop valuable skills and knowledge that can be applied to a variety of industries and roles, making you a more desirable candidate for high-paying positions. But it's worth noting that an MBA program can be expensive, and you should carefully consider the potential return on investment before committing to one.

What is the difference between a part-time MBA and a full-time MBA?

Full-time MBAs tend to be more academically rigorous but take place for only two years. As such, the programme does not accommodate working schedules.
