Q Peng ; from China (Good)

MCA has provided me with lots of opportunites to pursue practical career education in business administration. It also created an environment that stimulates us to a higher sense of flexibility, respectfulness towards other cultures, and strength in leadership that allows for a quality career in the chosen field of business.

I really enjoyed my 2 years' accelerated course which was really full-on and intense. I was also awared with a free trip to Paris to attend our graduation ceremony held by École Supérieure de Gestion (ESG) for being, well, I guess a good student! :-)

The college staff are also EXTREMELY nice and helpful, it has been 8 years since I've graduated and we are still in touch! Highly recommend it!!!

Lavinia Shivdasani ; from Colombo, Sri Lanka (Highly Recommended)

Whilst I was a student at MCA with what I beleive to be the best batch of students ever!) the competition amongst the top 5 was 1 mark between the assignments & exams...it was such a pleasure to work with a group that constantly challenged one another and bought the best out of us.
Our teachers were great and the staff were very nice, our education was such an enhancing experience and I learnt a lot from my BBA and MBA at MCA.

I met with Jimmy Choo, Entrepreneurs and many other delegates who have brought an insight into education by making a success of themselves.

the education is very much 'real' time and the positivity that is given out to make you feel that you can do anything is much needed and appreciated with assignment and deadlines fast approaching.

Looking back at the graduation pictures and albums bring back real nostalgia and such good memories. However hard it was then it was totally worth the effort and the work as today, I am successful and a manager and I owe it all to an awesome education and experience.

AMIT ANDREWS ; from NEW YORK, USA (Highly Recommended)

It was an amazing time at Millennium City Academy (MCA) and enjoyed High Standard of Education while I was an EMBA Student. I worked with many Reputed Financial Institutions like American Express and realized MCA's Guidance was so relevant for my career.

Sandy ; from UK (Good)

I have enrolled to follow the EMBA course and based on recent discussions with my friends and colleagues, many advised me that it is a good way to get a job anywhere in the world.

The EMBA course is reasonably priced and with the choice of specialisations on offer, I feel that I have made a good choice.

The lecturers are very good and bring in their expertise and knowledge which further enhances our experience and knowledge on the programme.

The course is unique and the classes are great fun. The college is small enough to be known and every one is friendly and I feel that I am guided thoughout my studies here.

I hope that I will be successful and have a great future ahead of me :)
