Hult International Business School

Hult is a great university where you are surrounded from people from all over the world! It is definitely a great environment that inspires you to do more and better. What distinguishes Hult from the most traditional universities is that it has a more practical approach and professors share their own experiences and professional knowledge apart from the academic insights, so you will get that hands on approach and learn things that will help you in your professional life, on top of your academic one. Additionally, you will get the opportunity to do a lot of group work with people from different nationalities which will help you broaden your horizons and get in touch with other cultures. By the end of the school year, there is a capstone experience that honestly, was my favourite part of my masters. It was challenging and it gave me the opportunity to work in a group to develop our own business model, which was amazing and really helped me grow and see things in a new and different perspective. Very enriching and especially good for my personal growth!

Hult is an excellent school for those who want an innovative, startup-esque feel to their university. While Hult’s teaching is very solid, the university’s real strength is in its support for students to do more outside of academics with a host of real clients coming to classrooms, strong professional clubs, and a startup incubator. The emphasis on actual client interactions and teamwork both in and outside of the classroom leave students with far more of the soft skills that they will need in a professional environment then a curriculum which solely focuses on theoretical teaching.

My experience at Hult International Business School has been amazing! Starting at the San Francisco campus and ending on the London campus gave me the opportunity to connect with an international community as all my classmates are from all over the world. What I like about Hult are the incredible opportunities they give us to rotate too many different cities like Shanghai, Dubai, London, San Francisco, etc. I had the opportunity to study in two amazing campuses concluding that the way Hult’s system works is perfect for any Business lover. Hult provides networking events in order to expand your social network, they give us workshop events like how to have the best LinkedIn profile, how to build your resume, how to succeed on an interview, etc. I can say that thanks to these workshops I have been able to build a strong social network and succeed in my interviews. All classes at Hult focus on business topics where they use real-life examples in order to explain the concepts. What I love is that instead of having normal lectures as in other colleges, Hult gives its students the opportunity to work on real-life projects like creating a Business Plan for your own company. They do a lot of projects that involves putting yourself into the real world making you gain experience without even leaving the classroom. The culture at Hult is really diverse, business-like and friendly. You are able to meet people from all over the world who could possibly be your future business partners. I strongly believe Hult is the best school for anyone looking to study Business and become a professional. Opportunities here are endless…

The MSc programme provided opportunities for me meet more people and expand my network globally across 123 nationalities in just my intake alone. It also offered the chance for a practical application of business studies by working on a final capstone consulting work for a business client in social media analytics at the end of the year. Professors are diverse and have strong professional and academic backgrounds and industry connections. Some of them are even adjunct and visiting professors from other Ivy League colleges. However, some professors do fare a little poor in teaching delivery for certain classes. Overall, teaching quality is more than sufficient if the student makes the effort to go above and beyond to take charge of their own learning (which is what is supposed to happen at postgraduate level of studies). The global rotation was a game-changer and eye-opener. The ability to live, work and study in at least three different global cities within one year of the postgraduate programme is something I reckon no other institution can provide. Especially with the assistance and expertise of the visa and operations teams for those rotating. My global rotation programme saw me moving to China and the USA for 1.5 months each to complete the postgraduate programme before returning to London for graduation. Immigration visa application was straightforward and was guided by the visa team locally. Learning in other campuses saw generally no adjustments needed in institution culture, that is, seamless integration into the campus and its operations. Learning about the different courses in the most relevant cities also helped reiterate learning (i.e., learning about Emerging Markets in Shanghai, Luxury Marketing in Dubai, Entrepreneurial Finance in San Francisco, etc.) Careers Advisory team was also on point and worked with students before we even stepped into campus for the first day. The career planning and roadmap progression has been tried and tested with the consult of business leaders and recruiters.

"MIB, Boston Campus, Shanghai Rotation, 2018" It is interesting, being first an intern turned student. I was able to see the behind the scenes of Hult and still decided to get my masters here. I will say that this masters is something I will never forget as it really pushed me into my passions and made me more aware of how international business and education is something I really want to do in my life. If I could, I would do this all over again in the same way I did it. Boston campus: absolutely beautiful as a building, and the ability to stay in the building for almost 24 hours and be happy because of the interior. The location leads to learning a lot of things in and outside the classroom. I will miss this place. Shanghai rotation: although small, this location was mighty as it definitely portrayed the Hult themes. I will say it is a whole new ball park when you are in China and there are so many things that are different from any other location, but the culture and the atmosphere was worth it all.
