Students Testimonial

"NSBM Green University played a crucial role in shaping my academic journey towards a PhD. Joining the BSc in Marketing programme, offered in partnership with the University of Plymouth, was one of the best decisions I ever made. The strong academic foundation at NSBM opened doors to many opportunities that equipped us with the skills and support needed to succeed on the global stage. The knowledge and exposure I gained at NSBM strengthened my determination to pursue a PhD. Today, I am proud to be the first NSBM graduate to earn a PhD from the University of Plymouth, a journey that was built on the solid foundation I received at NSBM."
