“I started my doctorate in April 2011 against the backdrop of the Arab Spring in Egypt. My dissertation was on the role of business in society: creating space to live the question within the paradox of change.
Doing a doctorate was something I had always wanted to do to “complete” my education, but life happened! I needed a program that would accommodate my busy professional and family obligations. I wanted to validate what I know and open up more options in my career. This part time professional doctorate was a perfect fit. The biggest attraction was the structure and schedule of the program.
The Hult doctorate gave me confidence in myself and opened up a whole new world of teaching, research and professional career opportunities.”
