MSc Accounting at Durham University Business School was my best choice. I do not hesitate to accept the offer that I got from here. Professors and classmates are so helpful and friendly. I think the experience I got from Durham University Business School is valuable. My ability and skills have improved, and I hope I can be a good accountant in the future.

It is not only the experience of learning that I received but also the wonderful life experience that I got from here, Durham University Business School.
