MBA - Global Study Program
Hi everyone, I am Radhika Bansal and I’ve just got the opportunity to share my incredible experience with GlobalGrads. I have always wanted to study abroad but I didn’t know how to afford it until and unless I went to GlobalGrads. GlobalGrads isn’t your regular study abroad program, they are like a fairy godmother if you want to study abroad!
They helped me save approx 20 lakhs and I didn’t even have to take a loan and trust me, they were with me at every step to find the perfect university for me.
This program is a 6 months hybrid learning program at Amity University and a year on campus in Clark University.
So again, thanks GlobalGrads for helping me out through this incredible journey!

They helped me with choosing the right University as well as helping me with visa and documentation processes which were very seamless. Since you know when you are working, and you get to know a hybrid sort of a program through GlobalGrads I thought this is the best choice because then I can concentrate on my studies as well as my job and it was a very great blending learning experience that I received. And I really wanted to thank them because with the help of GlobalGrads I got the conditional offer letter from one of the universities in the USA so I would really like to thank them. And, you know, they also helped me in clearing my IELTS and GMAT waivers as well which helped me with this admission.
