Testimonials
The program helped me widen my vision and make more correct decisions in management. Teachers come from many different countries and are always enthusiastic in the teaching process, especially teachers with extensive teaching experience and learning content that are very well combined with reality, can be projected and apply directly to the economic environment in Vietnam and other countries.
In addition, the program has provided theoretical foundations on interdisciplinary governance in parallel with updating modern development trends in the world in the field of business administration and project management. I feel satisfied and worthy of what MPM brings, and would like to thank the teachers who have always supported them throughout the year.
For me, MPM is very helpful with respectful professors.
I am very happy that I have studied the Professional Master Program in Project Management (MPM). The MPM program provides general knowledge of project management and other business management. I really appreciate being taught about negotiation; finance has always been helpful for my career. MPM is really useful for everyone, you have the opportunity to use the knowledge you learned to apply in your current work, as well as help your career in the future. I am truly grateful to the teachers who have supported me throughout the school year, as well as for the advice I received in my career.
