"“Greetings readers, Puteri’s here and this is my story.
Coming from a pure science background, I have always been drawn to numbers and analytical thinking. My curiosity about how countries build and sustain economic stability led me to pursue the Bachelor of Analytical Economics (Hons.) at MMU. The program equipped me with a strong foundation in economic theory and practical analytical skills that are directly relevant to today’s economy.
With guidance from dedicated lecturers, I was challenged to think critically and understand how economic decisions impact us. The exposure I gained through my degree has sharpened my confidence in applying my knowledge and experience in economics beyond the classroom.
Advancing to today, I secured a position in the banking industry immediately after completing my internship. This clearly reflects the value of the BAE program in preparing graduates for the industry. I stand as the living proof as to what this degree can help you achieve.
Here’s to your success, amigos!”
