Testimonials

I was deeply impressed and engaged in all leadership activities. With my appreciation and pride in participating in the Programme, I hope that upcoming students will feel the same and choose the university. Special thanks for creating such an excellent programme for us to have a memorable learning journey here. -Trang, Vietnam, MSc. Education

‘‘Everything about this workshop was absolutely fantastic. The speakers demonstrated excellent confidence and delivered extremely engaging and fun content loaded with practical activities.’’ -Guljahan, Turkmenistan, Msc. Education, Leadership & Policy

The qualities developed in the programme have allowed for rapid personal, interpersonal and career milestones. The display of self-confidence by constantly practicing the four unique steps have benefited me tremendously. They are jewels that can’t be seen in academic curriculum. Most scholarships do not incorporate such personal and career development training workshops that awaken Sleeping Giants within. -Pfaith, Uganda, MSc. Finance

‘‘One of the things I appreciate the most about my university is the leadership programme and the events around it, and how intentional it is about making everyone feel welcome by creating a truly diverse and inclusive community. These events allow for interaction and making new friends across different countries. I hope there will be opportunities for Alumni to volunteer for or speak at future programmes. Such that, when we graduate, we can have an opportunity to give back to this amazing initiative. Thank you! Thank you and, Thank you!!!’’ -Muhammad, Nigeria, LLM

The Leadership Programme offered me clear and easy-to-follow guidance that made my master's journey smoother, as I was able to rely on tools and techniques to support my natural talents. Today, I continue to apply the lessons learned during the programme, which I know will stay with me for years to come. -Andrea, El Salvador, MA Sociology

‘‘I enjoyed looking at my values, goals, negative and positive thoughts. The introspection is very helpful and something I don’t get to do enough. Learning better ways to present myself to people is something I will take with me. The networking opportunities at these events are parallel to none.’’ -Melissa, Master in Business, USA

What I appreciate the most in ICOS’ approach to leadership development is their ability to share content that can relate to everyone in the audience. As I engaged in a forum with a lot of international students, the content was so well curated that we all went home inspired. I truly admire their approach and can confidently recommend ICOS. -Satchin, Sri Lanka, MSc. Engineering

‘‘It was a remarkable workshop. Every aspect of the programme will benefit us in our future, at the professional, academic and individual levels.’’ -Harish, MBA
