Why Hult?
Hult International Business School takes its name and its guiding pedagogy from Bertil Hult, the entrepreneur who built EF Education First from a single idea into the world’s largest private education company. That founder’s mindset runs through everything we do. By immersing you in practical, hands-on experiences from day one, we equip you with the skills to drive growth and future-proof your business legacy.
