What they say about us

The MCF is one of the biggest steps in my life that I have taken to strive and succeed. It provides multiple opportunities for personal and knowledge development, along with the acquisition of new technical knowledge. The experience brought classmates from multi-cultural backgrounds and gave us knowledge on how to collaborate through into account different cultural norms. It is a unique program for people who are not afraid of challenges and ready to expand their limits. The program gave me knowledge and skills to start my career in the field that I had always dreamed about in one of the most prominent and exotic business centers - Hong Kong.
