Divya Prem Kumar Verma (Integrated BBA, Year 3)
The program provides students with a holistic learning of different business
aspects and offers numerous initiatives. Having participated in the EYAcademy
CSR Challenge, I had the opportunity to apply the skills learnt to a real-life case
and I am very glad to be named as the Top Performing Cadet Champion.
This summer, I interned as a Global Corporate Banking Summer Analyst in Bank
of America Merrill Lynch, where I was able to understand the various financial
instruments and got to work with a diverse team. I am thrilled to have received
the return offer from the bank to work as a full-time analyst upon graduation!
Edison Tam (Integrated BBA, Year 4)
The Integrated BBA program allows considerable flexibility with regards
to my study scheme. Not only could I enjoy complete freedom in
choosing Marketing and Management in International Business as my
concentrations, but I could also pursue double minors in Spanish and
French. Besides, the most rewarding part of my course was the
opportunity to go on an exchange program in Barcelona for a year,
during which my linguistic knowledge was significantly enriched.
