Brant Ran
"For me, the return on investment from the MBA is simple: it opened a completely new stage in my life. It expanded my professional skills, gave me new opportunities and created a much wider horizon for my career.”
Suri Kasbon
“The real learning came from practice. I had to learn to unlearn: how I communicate, how messages land, how leadership looks in different contexts. Over time, I became more adaptable and self-aware. I learned when to step forward, when to step back, and how to create space for others to contribute.”

Noora came to Bath to strengthen her business knowledge and grow as an entrepreneur. She met her future business partner on the MBA and went on to co-found clean energy technology company HyFlux.
