My Experience as a Philosophy Politics and Economics Triple Major Student
John H
South Africa, Undergraduate
Economics, 2022
Overall
The University of Pretoria gave me many opportunities to develop myself within these fields and others such as business management. They also provided many abroad opportunities for a select few who proved their dedication and skills in their fields. One such opportunity was doing a graduate program at Fordham University in New York. I have acquired many skills and am looking forward to demonstrating my skills and commitment in my job.
