“If I could do the year of Business management and entrepreneurship at UCT again I would, it was a great course.”

Bjorn Train joins us on the podcast for a look at what a day in the life of a Project Manager is like. During his 3rd year of BCom Chartered Accounting he decided to change over to Honours in Business management and entrepreneurship at UCT.
