School of Business and Management
  1. How has life been since you started school? 

Since I started school, life has given me the freedom to learn beyond the classroom. Because my programme is fully online, I have learned to manage my own schedule and take ownership of my growth. Instead of only relying on coursework, I explore areas that genuinely interest me, such as business, marketing, AI, and data analysis through courses, certifications, and personal projects. I also enjoy keeping up with new technologies and finding ways to apply them to everyday work and learning. This experience has made me more independent, curious, and self-motivated. 

 

  1. What made you further your studies with PSB Academy? 

I chose PSB Academy because it offered an efficient pathway to complete my studies while giving me the flexibility to pursue learning beyond the classroom. Since the programme is fully online, I have been able to explore certifications, industry trends, and practical experiences alongside my studies. Another factor that stood out was the exposure to activities, which has provided opportunities to understand the business world. 

 

  1. What made you embark on your course / discipline? How will this programme help you to achieve your dreams? 

I chose Business Studies because I'm interested in how businesses grow, make decisions, and create value. The programme gives me a strong foundation in business, marketing, and problem-solving while encouraging continuous learning. It also supports my goal of building a career in business development and marketing, where I can help companies grow through strategy, communication, and data-driven decisions. 

 

  1. In what ways has your education at PSB Academy contributed to your personal and professional growth? Are there any specific technical skills, concepts, or class projects that stood out to you or helped you feel more prepared for your future career? 

Studying at PSB Academy has strengthened both my technical knowledge and self-learning skills. The programme has given me a solid understanding of business, marketing, finance, and data analysis while allowing me to manage my own learning. I particularly enjoyed learning about consumer behaviour, marketing principles, and business decision-making, as these concepts are highly relevant to my career goals. 

 

  1. How approachable and helpful were the lecturers/tutors? Was there anyone who motivated you through the challenges of completing your course? 

The lecturers and tutors at PSB Academy have been approachable and supportive throughout my studies. Whenever I had questions, I could easily reach them via email, and they responded promptly with clear explanations. Their willingness to help has made it easier to overcome challenges and stay on track. I appreciate the consistent support and encouragement from the teaching staff, which has created a positive learning experience. 

 

  1. What was most memorable about your time at PSB Academy? 

One of the most memorable moments during my time at PSB Academy was being invited to speak at the "Ngabuburit Yuk PSBA" online session. It was a great opportunity to share my experiences with high school students preparing to further their studies in a meaningful way. Being trusted to contribute to a school event made me feel more connected to the PSBA community and gave me greater confidence in communicating with others. It remains one of the highlights of my time at PSB Academy. 

 

  1. What advice would you give to other students planning to study here? 

My advice is to make the most of the flexibility that PSB Academy offers. Don't limit yourself to just completing assignments. Use your time to explore courses, earn certifications, attend networking events, and build practical skills that match your career goals. Stay proactive, ask questions whenever you need help, and take advantage of opportunities. The more initiative you take, the more rewarding your learning experience will be.
