It was not until I did my Master’s Degree in the US that I understood the true value and quality of education at WIUT. The discipline and standards that I got used to at WIUT allowed me to easily complete my Master’s with flying colors, juggling a lot of other things at the same time. Although my Commercial Law journey started with some doubts (Would I be able to handle the workload? Find a job?), I ultimately ended up enjoying every single moment of this experience.
