ΤΗΕ <strong>MBA</strong> GRADUATES<br />

Students <strong>of</strong> The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Nicosia</strong> programme are ambitious people and <strong>the</strong>y come<br />

from different areas <strong>of</strong> private interest and organisations within government and industry.<br />

Companies and organisations that have sponsored <strong>MBA</strong> students in <strong>the</strong> past<br />

include: Royal Dutch Airlines, Revlon, Tradex, Cyprus Telecommunication Authority,<br />

Cyprus Electricity Authority, Air Trans, Cybarco, Demstar, Addidas.<br />

The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Nicosia</strong> <strong>MBA</strong> provides<br />

students with a rigorous academic challenge<br />

united with a rich personal development<br />

experience. The community <strong>of</strong><br />

dedicated faculty and engaged students<br />

allow for invaluable mentoring and teamwork<br />

opportunities.<br />

The smaller class sizes afforded students<br />

<strong>the</strong> opportunity to connect with instructors<br />

more easily. The pr<strong>of</strong>essors push<br />

hard toward <strong>the</strong> application <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> material<br />

through research and presentation <strong>of</strong><br />

results and impact. In my current position,<br />

this has been critical to my day-to-day<br />

achievements, but also in my career and<br />

in positioning myself for overall success,<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>MBA</strong> program at UNIC has been invaluable.<br />

If you asked me what I am using in<br />

my current position that I learned in <strong>the</strong><br />

UNIC <strong>MBA</strong> program, I would respond, ‘what<br />

am I not using!<br />

Moving into a broader leadership role<br />

demanded a deeper understanding <strong>of</strong><br />

business, finance and strategy. In many<br />

respects I thought it would be just <strong>the</strong>se<br />

aspects that would benefit me on <strong>the</strong> <strong>MBA</strong>,<br />

but I was surprised to find that <strong>the</strong> people<br />

and leadership aspects <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> programme<br />

were exceptionally rewarding and really<br />

grabbed me. I began to appreciate <strong>the</strong> importance<br />

<strong>of</strong> understanding oneself in order<br />

to lead o<strong>the</strong>rs as well as understanding<br />

<strong>the</strong> important human elements for success<br />

as a leader such as empa<strong>the</strong>tic listening.<br />
