Since the final years of high school, I started to see that a strong foundation of entrepreneurial and marketing skills and an understanding of business environments are rapidly gaining more significance in a modern, fast-paced world. Therefore, my burning desire to study business administration was kindled through the valuable opportunities it gives a student to acquire a detailed knowledge of business disciplines.
