The main part of the session delved deep into the training areas of the CAS programs, with Dr. Marko Majer, Ph.D. presenting Digital Marketing, Dr. Jan Erik Meidell, Ph.D covering Data Analysis, and Dr. Madina Kukenova showcasing the Finance program. Each speaker provided a thorough breakdown of the course modules, both theoretical and practical aspects of their respective fields.

Dr. Olena Iarmosh concluded the session by discussing the upcoming selection process for CAS candidates and answering a wide range of questions from attendees both in-person and online via the Zoom broadcast.

We’d like to extend our gratitude to all the participants for their active engagement and interest in the CAS programs at BSL. Your curiosity and dedication are truly inspiring!
