We are living in a dynamic, developing and demanding world. A man who wants to stay and make it in today’s market must constantly educate himself, enrich his knowledge, skills, and abilities – what was true a few years ago, is now forgotten/outdated.

„You could choose from various subjects – everybody preferred subjects according to his/hers specialization. Nevertheless, everybody learned something applicable to his/her professional career and promotion.“

Why did you decide to further study? And why exactly at the LIGS University?

As I mentioned previously, if a man wants to succeed today, he must offer something more than others. He can only achieve it via self-education and self-development. Knowledge, you have once acquired, will always keep its value... And why at the LIGS University?

Finally, it is very important to have right contacts acquired during my studies at the LIGS University.
