I have earned both my Bachelor’s Degree (in Networking) and Master’s Degree (MBA in Information System) at City Unity College.… I feel like all the time spent there was well invested. I was able to immediately apply all the knowledge gained to my profession (I was employed during my years of studies). This was also feasible because all of my professors were professionals already working for many years in their field. For this, I am utmost grateful to City Unity College, for selecting them, and to each one of them personally. To this day, I make use of everything I learned there over the years, both businesswise and technically. Read more “Panayotis Kotsadam”

I graduated with a BSc in Computing from Cardiff Metropolitan University which I attended through City Unity College. It was… a great opportunity for me for three basic reasons. First of all, the curriculum was knowledge-rich and provided me with essential skills for a successful career in the Information Technology field. Secondly, its renowned professors, all with impressive backgrounds, were more than able to transfer their knowledge and support me, with some of them still being there for me today, offering me advice and guidance. Last but not least, the excellent infrastructure of the college, supplied with the latest equipment, improves the teaching experience by far. Moreover, outside the academic environment, employers were noticing my studies, which resulted in many open doors for me, leading to a career as a business process consultant. In the end, I will always be grateful to City Unity College for giving me the opportunity to have a dream career and a bright future. Read more “Anastasia Stamogianni”
