Safwat Kabany
Syria
For
Safwat Kabany, from Syria, doing his MBA with Edinburgh Business School
was the most logical choice. "I'm in the petrochemical industry and
Heriot-Watt University is one of the world-leading academic
institutions in this field of industry. I therefore knew a lot about
the high standards at Heriot-Watt and these are certainly evident in
EBS's MBA programme."
Safwat decided to do the
programme as a full-time on-campus student, which was not without its
challenges, particularly for a foreign student. "I had to cope with
both language and cultural differences, which at first were quite
daunting. EBS, however, is very skilled at dealing with people from
different backgrounds and cultures and it wasn't long before I felt
very comfortable in this environment. The faculty are extremely helpful
and take a keen interest in every individual. The facilities at
Heriot-Watt for resident on-campus students are excellent and not
having to worry about where I would live or how I would feed myself
ensured that I could devote all my attention to my studies."...more
