Today's business environment is continuously changing and the management is facing diverse challenges ranging from the financial constraints of the current global economy, to the demand for raw materials and the need to focus on sustainability and corporate social responsibility. Future managers must be prepared with knowledge and skills that addresses international business issues in contemporary time and reflects on the actions and needs for capabilities.

A good MBA Degree can equip with the competency and professionalism and help to meet the challenges that managers are facing in the global business environment. I find the syllabus of the MBA International programme offered by Anglia Ruskin University London is aligned and synchronised with the current global business and management issues to prepare a new generation of managers who can successfully adapt with the constant evolution of business and organisations. The learning contents of this MBA are true reflections of my academic vision and career ambition that I have developed to match the demands of the new corporate world. I am highly glad that I have made this choice.

In most recent time, I have completed a general BA Degree with first division under the National University, Bangladesh. But in a country where development is under procession as part of the worldwide domination of business and commerce, a general BA Degree bears little significance irrespective of my grades and result – employers (from any sector, since everything is commercialised) refuse to find merits in general degrees. I have taken positives from this trends and decided to prepare myself with knowledge, skills, competency, professionalism so that I have the ability and confidence of fulfilling future employers and business needs. The Anglia Ruskin University MBA International learning map can take me to my destination of academic and career pursuits.
