George Bousias, Bachelor (Hons) Business Management graduate

During times of radical change, the decision regarding a young person’s education is crucial. So, when I was called to decide where I would pursue my studies in Economics and Business Administration, I trusted the pioneers in education by choosing Metropolitan College. The journey to knowledge might be arduous, but when you have qualified academics by your side providing you with precious knowledge and support, everything becomes easier and more enjoyable.

Nikolaos Chaniotis, BA (Hons) Marketing student

To this day, my experience as a student at Metropolitan College has been very constructive. The undergraduate programme in Marketing includes highly interesting Modules which challenge students and engage them in a creative process. There is close communication between students and teachers, with teachers being excellent subject experts, patient, helpful and always available for their students. The interactive lectures promote debate on class material and thus help students digest the knowledge provided and develop crucial skills, such as critical thinking.
