We also look for open-minded students who want to tackle problems head-on, enterprising students who have a strong commitment to succeed and forward-thinking students who could make a real change and positive impact to society.

Above all else, we look for a caring attitude. This is fundamental. We want all our business students to have a genuine concern for people and the communities we serve.
