"I started my MBA in February 2020 and I have already added to my personal knowledge which has allowed me to have success both personally and professionally. Our organisation is implementing some of the procedures from the leading in complexity module and the MBA will help our company to grow as I grow too. I am looking forward to the rest of the course content and everybody at Keele from the staff, tutors and my fellow students have been a great source of support and motivation. "
