Student Testimonial

"Smaller institutes can have an organized focus on each candidate providing unlimited access over the various resources offered... I personally feel that DBS is one of them.        

I chose the Msc in Management Practice to gain knowledge on the different management domains required to tailor and shape the business. The most exciting part about the course is the enthusiasm of professors towards the students. I like the way professors handled students' queries.        

All the lectures are focused on ongoing topics around the world and based on interactive session rather than monotonous theoretical lectures. My favourite module was HRM taught by professor David Wallace. He is an excellent professor with in-depth knowledge about the subject.

I will definitely recommend DBS to other students as it is a student-oriented top private institution where student problems are the first priority.

DBS is one of the finest private institutions with excellent professors and resources. My journey of Masters with DBS was a sublime experience that will stay with me for the rest of life.       

The workplace needs an employee who can do multitasking, and the knowledge acquired during the course enabled me to enhance that particular ability.        

DBS qualification focused on existing business progression with diverse exposure to many concepts related to the business world. I can apply those contexts in building my own business."
