John Cabot University (JCU) and Hult International Business School (Hult) have renewed their partnership to expand global learning opportunities for students. As part of this collaboration, Hult is offering two full scholarships for JCU students to attend its prestigious Pre-Master's Program. Additionally, partial tuition support is available for other JCU students who wish to participate.

Martina Oliveto shared her experience: “Four months ago, I was convinced that I would not pursue a master’s degree. However, thanks to the Bootcamp experience at Hult Business School and the collaboration with JCU, a new and incredible opportunity opened up for me.

I am truly grateful for this life-changing experience.”
