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

I am pretty much 100% sure that flashing the word Nexford and an MBA was instrumental in me standing head and shoulders above the other candidates when I was applying for the job at DHL.

Richard Yeboah

Branch Manager, DHL

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

I needed to gain advanced technical skills that I could apply to my business, but also consult and advise other businesses. Nexford gave me that.

Jason Weimer

Business Technology Teacher, International Community School

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.

Director of Operations, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
