Internship is the best
My course has been vital
in providing me with career
direction. Through the MIS
work experience program, I
was offered an internship at
management consulting frm
DB Results. Participating in
this internship was one of the
best decisions I ever made.
Student opportunities like this

learning in academia with the
practical side of things.
