Before coming to Hult, I obtained an\u00a0Associate Degree in Accountancy at Ngee Ann Polytechnic in Singapore. Coupled with an internship experience there, I concluded that accountancy is a practical science that I appreciate but might not pursue as a long-term career.<\/p>\n<p>However, I knew that I was seeking a practical approach to business education. Hult was naturally a top choice for me as their approach was highly practical compared to other conventional and top universities I applied to. That was my first business decision.<\/p>\n<p>My second one came when I thought it was wise to pick a specialization as part of my bachelor&#8217;s degree. The Hult Undergraduate program offers five specializations to students who prefer to graduate with more than a general business administration degree. These majors are accounting, finance, management, marketing, and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-8179 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2017\/02\/HNews-Major-Fair1-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"702\" height=\"395\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For the majors fair, organized last month, guest speakers from the various industries related to the specializations came in to share their insights and experiences to help me and my fellow undergraduates decide which path to take. One of those speakers was Sven Ley who founded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.therockster.com\/pages\/about\">The <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.therockster.com\/pages\/about\">Rockster<\/a>,\u00a0a family-owned business formed solely to allow dogs around the world to enjoy all of the benefits of superfood.<\/p>\n<p>Other guests included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hult Alumni and Management major graduate Joakim Villand\u00a0and Management major Lead Georgio Georgiades.<\/li>\n<li>Entrepreneurship major Lead Daniel Rukare<\/li>\n<li>Finance major Lead Anvar Abdullaev<\/li>\n<li>Marketing major graduate and Phillips UK intern Daniel Pena, a Marketing intern at MangoPay and co-founder Impackt\u00a0farm Alex Welch, Head of Supply Bizzby Christina Mundeau\u00a0and Regional Director of Chartered Institute of Marketing Preston Phillips.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-8178 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2017\/02\/HNews-Major-Fair2-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"702\" height=\"395\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I came to believe that students can&#8217;t just learn entrepreneurship in class. They also have to get themselves out there and learn from real life lessons. But certainly, with the speakers, mentors, and entrepreneurship program that Hult has, the approach to learning entrepreneurship in this school is different.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-8180 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hult.edu\/blog\/media\/uploads\/2017\/02\/HNews-Sarveen-Chester-PP.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"120\" height=\"120\" \/>Sarveen Chester is a Singaporean student on his final year at Hult London campus.
