“Coming from an engineering background I was accustomed to dealing with structured and precise problems. At the Olayan School of Business I discovered that ONE and ONE do not necessarily equal TWO (a shock for the engineer) and I acquired the skills and knowledge required to deal with the not so structured and not so well defined issues facing a general manager. This experience helped me deal with uncertainties and was clearly a booster to my career.”

“OSB is one of the fondest memories of my academic life….a home away from home, where I learnt so much from such amazing professors. Everything about OSB is close to my heart - the campus where I spent so many hours basking in the sun, the professors who were like my guardians and the class fellows who never made me feel like a foreigner!”

“The uniqueness of any MBA experience depends on the faculty members who teach & develop the program. Here at OSB, we are blessed with the highest and most devoted caliber of faculty members who are fully dedicated to the students and the school. They are who I will remember the most ten or even twenty years down the line.”  

“If I had to choose one word to describe my OSB experience, the word “exceptional” would be the most fitting. Each and every one of my classmates came from a different educational and professional background. This type of diversity enriched the classroom experience in ways that I find difficult to describe in words – they can only be experienced. Discussions bridged scientific and artistic minds, analyzing high-level business problems from a variety of lenses and perspectives. Needless to say, I learned a tremendous amount from my classmates who are now among my closest of friends.”
