I would definitely hire other Nexford graduates. I've been really impressed with Onyinye's progress so far and anyone with that experience level is really a good fit for us at Microsoft.

Rebecca Young

Principal Business Insights Manager, Microsoft

The Nexford BBA helped me go from a contractor to a full-time employee. Without a degree, I was only getting short-term contracts. But once I mentioned my Nexford BBA with a specialization in AI and automation – it became a huge foundation for landing a higher-paying, full-time job.

Brian Pecuch

Security Analyst, TD Bank

My MBA at Nexford has been instrumental in allowing me to better the way that I work. The skills I learned there will definitely stand me in good stead now that I have accepted the role of Deputy Director of Ops at three large UK hospitals.

Samantha Lear

Director of Operations, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

I started taking a one-year Master of Management program at one of Indonesia’s top universities... I didn’t complete it, because I was drawn to Nexford, which is a better fit for my life. I truly get a real-world education. I’m not merely attending to earn a degree.

Michael Ariel

Private Banking Specialist, Citibank

As a current MBA student at Nexford University, i like the flexile modality of study especially for full time employees, also the project-based learning approach with updated syllabuses, real case studies with top tech companies like Amazon, Tesla , Toyota, Apple...etc. and affordable at the same time for low middle income countries students.
