"Financial accounting last year (in University) was super easy as it was basically a repeat of accounting in grade 11 and 12 so except for some qualitative information studying wasn't really necessary. For those who didn't take accounting they found it very difficult and didn't do nearly as well overall."

Graduated EDSS 2020International business fundamentals (BBB4MI) was an excellent course to learn about how business standards vary across continents and countries. Becoming culturally aware of the customs and traditions found in particular places went beyond business practices to ensure an understanding of different cultures as a whole.
