Testimonials
In Their Own Words: The QISB Experience
Aishath Shifana
Bachelor of Business and Hospitality Management
Choosing QISB was the single best decision I made for my career. The curriculum is incredibly relevant, and the focus on real-world case studies meant I wasn't just learning theory—I was learning how to solve actual business problems. I walked into job interviews with confidence and a portfolio of practical skills that made me stand out. I secured a management position at a leading resort even before my final exams.
Mariyam Anoosha
Master of Business Administration (MBA)
The lecturers at QISB are more than just teachers; they are mentors. Their industry experience is immense, and they are genuinely invested in each student's success. The small class sizes allowed for personalized attention and created a supportive community where we could challenge each other and grow. This nurturing environment gave me the courage to push my boundaries and excel academically.
Mohamed Adam
Bachelor of Science in Marketing
What truly sets QISB apart are the connections you make. The guest lectures from industry leaders, the networking events, and the internship placements were invaluable. I was able to build a strong professional network while still studying. This direct exposure to the Maldivian business landscape gave me a clear advantage and a deeper understanding of the market I was about to enter.
