"I believe it is important for one to always look towards improving oneself. Achieving an MBA was one of the goals that I had set for myself. When I found out about the MBA in Retailing offered by the University of Stirling through the Retail Academy, I immediately seized the opportunity. That was a chance for me to upgrade my skill sets and it was in a field of study that was directly related to my career at FairPrice.

The programme was enlightening as it gave me a deeper understanding of the retail industry. My interaction with the professors and tutors of the programme were invaluable as they had opened my eyes and shared valuable insights on the dynamic business of retail around the world. The course contents were very relevant to my work and I have been able to better apply what I have learnt to my job. In addition, I have learnt to be more objective and systematic in my approach towards my work and this has allowed me to be more effective as retail professional.

Through the course I was also able to expand my network of like-minded professionals in the industry and I have learnt much through my interaction with them. I strongly recommend this course to all my peers and especially my fellow colleagues at FairPrice."
