My name is Mfihlakalo Mabuyakhulu, a Master of Business Administration (MBA) graduate (June 2020), University of Miskolc, Hungary.
I have an engineering background that equipped me with technical and analytical skills. However, after working for a few years, I realized that there were certain skills lacking in my skills set. I found that an MBA would be the most suitable qualification to pursue. I applied for a number of scholarships and was awarded the Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship.
In September 2018, I packed my bags and left for Miskolc, Hungary. This was a life changing experience. I got to learn about a new culture, travel and to improve my skills through the MBA. I have had the privilege of participating in major road races in cities like Budapest, London, Valencia, Vienna, Zagreb, Milan, Copenhagen, Paris and Kosice.
Upon completion of the MBA, I returned to South Africa to take up my previous job and I have attended a couple of interviews where I was headhunted for senior roles because of my diverse skills set. This qualification will surely aid my career growth in the future.
This scholarship, co-funded by the South African and Hungarian governments, provides a rare opportunity for South Africans to acquire new skills and develop themselves in Hungary.
