Before students make certain decisions in life, sometimes they get confused, not knowing exactly what path to take. I also found it very difficult at first during my senior year of high school and early stages of my journey to university. Thankfully, The University of Sharjah made me feel very welcomed, and soon became my second home. The administration and professors provided full support for the students during on-campus learning, and also adapted new ways to do so during online learning. However we communicated, whether online or on-campus, the university never failed to encourage the students to excel academically. Throughout my years majoring in Finance, The University of Sharjah implemented not only theoretical, but also practical methods to ensure that students obtain important skills to apply their major studies and knowledge in the real world after graduation. I am forever grateful to be a highest honor graduate at this university, and I would like to thank everyone involved, students and faculty staff, for providing me with an opportunity to achieve all my goals.

As an Alumnus from the Finance Department, I was honored to take the knowledge from the Finance professors in the College of Business Administration who helped us a lot in getting the skills we need to start our professional experience.

"A diverse, welcoming and comfortable environment - COBA has become my second home and my first step on the ladder to success. In my four years of study, I learnt and immersed myself in new experiences and activities, meeting interesting people and cultures, and creating life-long friendships. Thanks to the faculty, I've had the privilege to learn and enhance innumerable intangible skills like leadership, team collaboration, thinking forward, thinking in opportunities and facing challenges. In short, COBA is my platform from which to serve the world both practically and intellectually."
