I am responsible for running several of the Tower of London’s stores, including the company’s busiest store, but in addition to my daily routine, I organize events and I also train my manager colleagues. I work a lot in a responsible position, so the flexibility of distance learning is essential to me. With the well-organized (online) program, the flexible attitude during the semester and the exam period as well as the affordable tuition fee, KJU was the best choice I could make. But I received much more than that! I got practical and usable knowledge, a compilation of subjects that fully embrace the topic and shed light on contexts and processes, but above all, I got the chance to think freely and express my opinion on different topics. Thank you for the high-quality education!
