Tell us about your degree - why did you choose it? 
I chose MBA because it gave me the possibility to study all the aspects and interconnections inside organisations.

What was the best part of your studies here?
I think the good balance between studies and social life. The campus provided lots of activities that I could participate in with other students, giving me the opportunity to exchange different experiences of life and work.

What were your career aspirations when you arrived? 
My career aspirations when I arrived were to change the industry where I used to work which was a B2B into B2C. The University provided me essential help to change and improve my career path.

How has your career progressed since leaving the Business School? 
I got the opportunity to work for a well know company in the City of London where I can apply the knowledge learned during my MBA into daily work life.

Do you think your experience and skills gained here will help you in your future career plans? 
Yes because the knowledge learned has created the base for a future growth.

If you are not from the UK, how was the transition to a foreign country? 
The Univertisty always offered precius help for international students providing all types of support. For me it was like being at home for the services provided. 

What was your impression/experience of the facilities, the staff, your peers, the student union, the City of Leeds and the region itself?
The organisation of the campus was amazing. I would recommend that future students join in with as many activities as possible! They are very important for your social life so you don't fell homesick and they might be a great strength on your CV.

What would you say is your defining memory of studying here? 
I think the friendships made from people from all around the world. You can create a network of people that wouldn't be possible without LUBS.
