The Journey to Uninettuno: A Blend of Personal and Practical Choices
Initially, Uninettuno wasn’t Collins’ first choice. However, his unique circumstances led him to this institution. “I’m from Kenya and was looking for English-speaking universities. My partner, who is Italian, recommended Uninettuno. She knew about their distance learning programs in various languages, and it seemed like the perfect fit for our lifestyle. The flexibility of the program and Uninettuno’s reputation for online and distance learning were crucial for me. I have a young family, and we move frequently for work. Uninettuno provided a seamless way to balance my studies and professional responsibilities.”
” he explained. Collins’s decision to enroll in the Economics and Business Administration program was driven by practicality and a vision for the future.
Overcoming Challenges in the First Year
Collins’ first year at Uninettuno was not without its hurdles. “The first year was challenging. I had to coordinate with the university to book my exams, as there were no centers in Accra, Ghana, where I was living. Thanks to the support from the university’s president and Madam Aisye, we ensured everything ran smoothly in Nairobi,” he recalls.
Despite these challenges, Collins found the overall experience positive. “The interactive classes and group discussions were engaging, and I gained substantial knowledge. I can now view business from a new perspective since joining Uninettuno.”
Aligning Education with Career Goals
Collins is confident that his program is guiding him towards his personal and career goals. “Before joining the university, I had a diploma in Journalism and could only work in Kenya. Here in Accra, Ghana, work visas are more restrictive. With the qualifications from Uninettuno, I’ll have a broader horizon in the job market, combining my background in journalism with business administration and economics.”
Navigating the Challenges of Online Learning
For Collins, the flexibility of Uninettuno’s program is one of its greatest strengths. “We have calendars to follow, but I can plan my own schedule. The materials, including videos and library resources, are easily accessible. The professors are very responsive, which has been encouraging,” he says.
Collins acknowledges that he faces minimal challenges, thanks to his supportive family. “If I need a few hours to complete an assignment, my family gives me the space and time. However, as the program progresses, it might require more from me, but I am confident I can manage.”
Advice for Prospective Students
Collins offers thoughtful advice for prospective students considering Uninettuno. “Think about the kind of solutions you want to offer with your course. My background in journalism could have limited me to communication degrees, but I chose to expand my horizons. Uninettuno’s team engaged with me about my choices, ensuring I was making realistic and achievable decisions,” he advises.
He emphasizes on the university’s supportive environment, “Uninettuno doesn’t just push you; they help you climb the ladder to explore and reach your dreams. That’s what makes it a great choice. I recommend Uninettuno to anyone looking to improve academically they offer discounts, which adds value. Even a 1% discount makes a difference and shows they value their students, ”
Looking Forward to the Future
As Collins looks towards graduation, he is optimistic about the opportunities ahead. “Uninettuno offers platforms for graduates to apply their skills. I frequently receive emails about job opportunities and further learning options. After graduation, I plan to apply these skills both locally and internationally.”
