Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend RSM to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I think it has been a great opportunity instead of university and has a great supportive atmosphere with lots of young people.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to RSM?
The exams require a lot more work and time than I expected which can be hard to balance alongside working full time. If you prepare yourself for a lot of work at times but know that the periods without exams are great to look forward to!
