Student review [#96763]
for Business Administration
at The University of Zambia - UNZA
Lusaka, Zambia
My overall opinion of the University of Zambia is that it offers a truly solid and meaningful academic experience, especially for working professionals. The MBA programme is well-structured, demanding, and deeply connected to real business challenges in Zambia and across Africa. It pushed me to grow academically, professionally, and personally.
What I liked most about the University of Zambia is the quality and dedication of the lecturers. They brought practical experience into the classroom, explained concepts clearly, and showed genuine care for students. Even when I faced major personal challenges including the heartbreaking loss of my baby while still studying, I received understanding and support that helped me stay focused and complete the programme. Balancing full-time work, studies, and grief was extremely difficult, but the supportive learning environment made a real difference.
I also appreciated the flexibility for working students, the diversity of classmates, and the relevance of the coursework. Many of the lessons, leadership skills, and strategic frameworks were immediately applicable to my job.
If there is one thing I disliked, it would be that the workload can feel intense during certain periods, especially when managing a full-time job. However, in hindsight, this challenge strengthened my discipline, time management, and ability to work under pressure skills that have stayed with me.
Would I recommend the University of Zambia?
Absolutely! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a programme that not only builds your academic capabilities but also develops your resilience, confidence, and leadership. This programme shaped me during one of the most difficult seasons of my life, and I am truly grateful for what it helped me become.
