“RKC provides all ingredients required to make the study the best experience ever. First, high-quality materials from Salford Business School and the tutors were highly available as well as willing to assist us in taking advantage of courses despite our hectic schedules. Furthermore, the website's chat forums and student organizations' Whatsapp groups were excellent motivation and knowledge-sharing sources. Finally, I appreciated the research-based assignments in a variety of formats.”
