Postgraduate Coursework in 2012

Close up: Yulie Sandjojo, MIT, Software Engineering major
Being able to choose a major was very important to me when choosing my degree. I was looking for a degree that was technical with business-oriented subjects also available, and being able to specialise – to choose a Major in the MIT – was good.
