Nothing beats personal experience. The MICPA programme provides a unique blend of technical knowledge, communication skills and commercial awareness. Your practical experience will provide you an opportunity to work at the heart of business. It will enhance your understanding of the functioning of different types of businesses and the application of professional knowledge. It will also develop your interpersonal skills and role as a team player.
However, there is no standard model for the work experience to be given to every student. It varies from student to student and from office to office.
