The MBA at Alfaisal was one of my most enriching learning opportunities and had a significant impact on my career. I managed to acquire a solid business acumen with as much hands-on expeience as possible. The MBA at Alfaisal did not only offer learning opportunities in the classic classroom settings, but also encouraged intriguing conversations between faculty and the MBA candidates. My time at Alfaisal allowed me to build my network around different sectors in Saudi Arabia and to get to know people who inspire me every time we sit together.
