I would definitely hire other Nexford graduates. I've been really impressed with Onyinye's progress so far and anyone with that experience level is really a good fit for us at Microsoft.

The Nexford BBA helped me go from a contractor to a full-time employee. Without a degree, I was only getting short-term contracts. But once I mentioned my Nexford BBA with a specialization in AI and automation – it became a huge foundation for landing a higher-paying, full-time job.

My MBA at Nexford has been instrumental in allowing me to better the way that I work. The skills I learned there will definitely stand me in good stead now that I have accepted the role of Deputy Director of Ops at three large UK hospitals.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to be part of Nexford University. My education there significantly helped me advance my career. Additionally, my MBA has been successfully recognized as equivalent in my home country, Indonesia.

As a current MBA student at Nexford University, i like the flexile modality of study especially for full time employees, also the project-based learning approach with updated syllabuses, real case studies with top tech companies like Amazon, Tesla , Toyota, Apple...etc. and affordable at the same time for low middle income countries students.
