Ibrahim Ibn Saana
I enrolled in the PhD in Public Health program at Texila American University in January 2015 while working full-time as a Deputy Manager. The program was challenging but taught me how to learn while working and made me more resilient. I deferred the program due to the demands of my job, but I resumed in 2020 with the support of my student mentor and academic team. Today, I am proud to have completed the program and achieved my dream of earning a doctorate. My knowledge from TAU has allowed me to work as a consultant with the World Bank and be a source of pride and inspiration for my family. I am grateful for the opportunity provided by Texila American University and will always be an ambassador for the institution.
Thanks to TAU for this great opportunity. I remain an ambassador of TAU any day, any time.

Also I realized that TAU’s curriculum was very rich with opportunities to put learning to practice. I published more papers during my study period than I had in all my years before!
