“It was a very much important session we participated last Sunday in order to excel our knowledge in Academic writing and presentation. We gained a lot of ideas and ways of improving our writing and presentation skills and this is not only beneficial for the Academic work, but also our professional work too. The later session too was very important for us to gain valid information for our academic work (Ayesh & Sithara, Students from M.Sc. in Applied Finance program).”
“It was a great experience for all the students to clarify the doubt especially in academic writing and presentation. Even though I have undergone in a session about how to use data bases there were lot of new things that I learnt from today’s session. Overall it is a great experience where all students should get from the beginning of their courses (Sara, a new student from PGD in Applied Finance program). ”
