Alumni Stories – Business Management 

We are delighted to hear from our MBA graduate, Mr. Hassaan Husnee. As the Customer Value Manager at Dhiraagu, Hassaan continues to make us proud. 

Here is what Hassaan had to say about his experience at MNUBS.

“My decision to pursue my higher studies at MNU Business School came down to just one factor – quality.

Goals vary from student to student. Mine was not just for a piece of paper that said I fit into a qualification level, but to be well-equipped to take on any challenge and be on equal footing with brilliant minds from different walks of life.

The programmes are designed in a way that each graduate leaves with certain set of skills that will help them navigate in both academia and corporate life.

Having studied from diploma level to Postgraduate level at MNU Business School, while keeping a full-time job, I can confidently say that the institution delivers on its promise of quality education without compromise. The set standards and expectations are high, which ultimately gets embedded into each graduant.”

We are thrilled to celebrate Ms. Fathimath Afiya, a proud graduate who describes MNU Business School as the icon of her academic journey.

Starting with a Secretarial Program in 1990 and later earning a Diploma in Management in 1999, she studied under pioneering Maldivian lecturers trained through the University of Wollongong—many of whom are now esteemed national academicians. Afiya holds MNU Business School close to her heart, remembering the student programs, friendships, and the joy of part-time study that laid the foundation for her successful career.

“MNU Business School is the icon for my academic career. I completed a secretarial program in 1990. Then, I completed a Diploma in Management in 1999, a certificate from the University of Wollongong, Australia. The Diploma was taught by Maldivian lecturers, who completed their first international teaching program in the Maldives under the supervision of the University of Wollongong. Among these are national leading academicians today.

I hold this institute close to my heart: it laid the foundation for my academic career. We had fun, ran student programs and enjoyed life studying part-time.”

However, the support system, quality education, and strong sense of community provided by MNUBS motivated me to persevere and graduate. The lecturers I met here played a significant role in shaping who I am today. Beyond teaching, they offered lifelong career guidance and advice, which continues to have a significant influence on my life. In celebration of 33 years of educational excellence, I want to congratulate and express my appreciation for the knowledge, experience, and dedication provided by MNUBS and its staff.”
