Why did you decide to take on postgraduate study?

There is always room for selfimprovement; I wanted to expand my
knowledge in the areas of research, strategy and analysis in order to excel in the current market. Also, I knew that I needed to learn more about a lot of areas in terms of research, strategy and business analysis.

What made you decide on Newcastle Business School?

First of all, I chose Newcastle upon Tyne as I learnt that it is the best student city. As for Newcastle Business School, I did all the research and concluded that it is one the best business schools in the in the North of England.

What was your favourite thing about your course?

The chance to meet and get to know colleagues from different parts of the
world, and to experience and learn about their different cultures.

What was your favourite thing about Newcastle Business School?

The state of the art buildings and the professionalism of the tutors. Our instructors always encouraged us to criticise what they tell us about all matters! Once I got my first job, the first email I sent was to my tutor thanking him as I would not be where I am had I not gone through the course. The seminars were the best part where we had the opportunity to work in groups and present our work; this has really helped me in terms of working in a group and presenting in front of others.

What advice would you give to someone thinking about postgraduate study?

Go to Newcastle Business School if you really want to learn, and be able to
challenge what you have learned.
