MSc Work Psychology & Business (Class of 2007)
‘When I was exploring universities in the UK,
I’d heard about an eminent scholar who works at Aston, in the field
that I am interested in. Luckily, he is now my supervisor for my
dissertation.
‘Aston is the only place that offers BPS
accredited programmes under the Business School instead of a Psychology
department, which is appealing to me as I could gain more
practical/commercial sense and knowledge.
‘The location of Aston is another positive factor for me; the
university is situated at the heart of Birmingham, which is very
convenient to students. The Varsity international exchange and visiting programmes have
impressed me about Aston – there are so many different exchange and
study programmes across different countries like France, Norway, Mexico
and USA, and I am going to Mexico for a cultural and business exchange
programme for a month in July. Such opportunities were really out of my
expectations.
‘Courses in Aston Business School focus equally on theoretical and
practical issues. As I would like to pursue a PhD and work as a
consultant for my career, this definitely offers me the training I
want. Different guest speakers were invited to share in several
courses, which provide a more comprehensive picture of the real working
environment, as well as widen students’ vision and network.'
When describing student life in Birmingham, Timothy explains: ‘You
can live your preferred life in Birmingham: whenever I want to meet new
friends, explore the culture, or experience joyful life in the UK, the
city centre offers me different nice places to do so. When I want to
focus on my academic studies, I can always find nice places in Aston
for working and studying.
‘The UK is a very culturally diverse country, students who would
like to spend most time on studying here should have an open mind to
learn and appreciate different practices of people from different
backgrounds.’
