I have always aspired to enhance my knowledge base, be it in my profession, or in social, psychological, economic, spiritual or environmental issues. I believe in lifelong learning. That is why I decided to join Uniathena’s Master of International Business Administration program, even though I am a retired person. I don’t believe that age hinders learning and acquiring novel knowledge, competencies and skills. The program was in sync with my expectations. I can learn at my own time and pace. The way the lessons and assignments are designed contribute to critical thinking which make one ready for future learning and analysis of any situation. In some universities, the focus is on learning by rote. I had joined such universities for their Master’s program in the past but I withdrew, disappointed. As I am a freelance Management Consultant, the knowledge and skill I acquired in Athena will help me be to be more knowledgeable and effective in my consultancy endeavors.
