SDG 8 - Decent Work and Economic Growth

Our University offers a wide range of educational opportunities so that the students can get the skills necessary to succeed in the business world. We prepare the students for the business world through business administration, economy, finance, entrepreneurism, and business management courses. Further, we instill the spirit of entrepreneurship in the students, supporting them to set up their own businesses.
 
Various projects are carried out in order to support work and economic growth. We aim to contribute to economic growth through entrepreneurship training organizations, business development programs, and social entrepreneurship projects. Further, we reinforce our sense of social responsibility by means of carrying out cooperation projects between the business world and the University.
