TESTIMONIALS

Hello everyone,
Thank you for asking for my feedback on my studies for Doctor of Business Administration. Here is my short testimonial. I am Deogratias from Togo Currently am working at Togo Embassy in Ankara in the Republic of Türkiye us First counsellor. I have always wanted to acquire new knowledge and further strengthen my abilities to become a good leader and a good entrepreneur. This is why I am very grateful to the International University of Leadership for granting me an admission to pursue my studies for Doctor of Business Administration (DBA). I really enjoyed taking courses for DBA, as it taught me a lot about the process and practice of creating and pursuing new business opportunities. I learned about the different aspects and factors that influence entrepreneurship, such as the market, the user, the product, the funding, the team, and the environment. I also learned about the Leadership and tools that can be used to be a good leader. As a diplomat, these courses give me a better understanding of negotiation tactics and strategies in (B2C) marketing or (B2B) marketing. Entrepreneurship is a term that encompasses many aspects of creating and running a business. It involves identifying a problem or a need in the market, developing a solution or a product that can address it, and taking the risk of launching and growing the venture. Entrepreneurship is not only a way of making money, but also a way of making a difference in the world. I know entrepreneurship is not easy, but I am willing to take risks and face challenges. I believe entrepreneurship is a journey of discovery, growth and fulfillment.
Thanks very much.

IUL is not only a university where I had classes, it is more like a home; where I spent 80% of my time. Fun, knowledge and leadership are the most important pillars that make our community very special. I have honestly been very satisfied with the results of my courses. I am a BBA graduate and now an MBA student and God willing I will be a DBA graduate in the next 5 years. I want to thank every person that has marked my path, every person that has pushed me to be the best and to develop myself.

My journey at IUL Everything started on October 2016, when I was admitted as a student at IUL. I still remember the first day just like it was yesterday when I was warmly welcomed by the administration and the professors as the first visually impaired student, a person with disability. While I was waiting at the administration completing my admission file, a gentleman put his hand on my shoulder and introduced himself kindly, he was Mr. president Anass Lahlou. That fulfilled me with confidence and insured me that everything would go smoothly which is what happened. About my academic path, I learned a lot from my professors without exception, in all aspects such as communication skills, analytical skills and critical thinking which allowed me through my journey to become a different person and see the world differently . I also enjoyed working with my colleagues who became on a certain point of time as sisters and brothers who respect each other and collaborate together to help one another to succeed in our student life. Finally, I would like to thank deeply IUL for hosting me, for the wonderful studies experience and I would like to thank the staff especially Mrs. Salma for her support and help navigating advisement. A special thanks to all my professors for all the knowledge they shared with us and the enormous understanding and patience with each one of the students. And last but not least I would like to thank my classmates and congratulate them one more time for their achievement of graduation and I wish for them as well as myself a bright future and a successful personal/professional life.

Here is my experience at IUL University. I had amazing professors, colleagues, and staff that were always helping us be a better version of ourselves. We changed during the years and upgraded to satisfying stages of our lives not only professionally but as students. we became friendlier to each other and treated each other as family members. I’m very proud of the choice I made and this feeling is what brings joy to my life and to all my surrounding. I encourage any future student who is interested in becoming a manager, or planning on owning a business to engage with IUL University because not only you will get an American degree but with no or fewer debts than anyone who studied in the US physically. So Good luck everybody!

The DBA was an opportunity for me to grow and to challenge myself. I learned through this experience that growth and comfort don’t coexist and that If we want to grow we have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. IUL helped me to build confidence, to take risks, to welcome challenges and though me that as a leader you have to base your decisions on who you truly are and your core values. I am very proud to be an IUL DBA Alumni“.

“When I reflect on my two years in the International University of Leadership, I conclude that the experience not only made me a better person but also prepared me in unpredictable ways for my career. The International University of Leadership has truly developed me into a well-rounded person. The professors here are exemplary in their teaching styles. I think that the MBA program has challenged my thinking about management and leadership and, through this, improved my ability to turn ideas into reality. In addition, it allowed me to develop a network of useful contacts, enhanced my confidence and helped me develop my decision making. The most rewarding part of my MBA was learning in an international environment that enabled sharing real-life experiences across cultures. Coming from different continents, we now have the opportunity to conduct and expand our business relationships and functions across the globe without cultural barriers. IUL creates and grooms leaders. I started with the intention of getting my MBA and heading to the job market. Now, I’ve enrolled in the Doctorate program at IUL and started pursuing bigger dreams”.
