Provided by ESN rated 4 out of 5 stars

BA School of Business and Finance is a great university for people who want to grow and find their path in life. IN this university you can participate in a lot of extracurricular events in which you can earn bonus points and not only grow academically but also personally, which I think is the biggest advantage of this UNI.
