As a research-oriented natural scientist, I felt a lack of managerial skills in my practice. To lead a team (even in an academic sphere), an adoption of managerial methods and techniques is crucial. Because of this very reason, I decided to study for an MBA at LIGS University. The distance form of study enabled me to adapt to my heavy workload flexibly. The care of the Student Sevices Department and tutor’s responsiveness contributed to an optimal study environment.
