Course MSc International Business (Class of 2007)
‘I come from India and I have done my schooling at my hometown
Meerut, which is nearby Delhi. After my schooling I did my UG degree
from a Business School in Delhi. Having done my BBA at an undergraduate
level, I had acquired a greater understanding of Business and
Management topics.
'I then decided to apply for a specialist MSc
programme as I felt at that stage I needed to learn how to think
globally about the business world and also learn how to manage
multinational businesses and turn local and national companies into
international success stories. After completing my previous studies, coming to the UK and studying
at one of the best reputed Business Schools in the UK, was the best
thing I could imagine.
‘The UK’s Quality standards are amongst the best in the world, with
institutions being continuously assessed to ensure study opportunities
meet strict criteria. Therefore the Masters degree at one of the most
recognised universities like Aston will equip me with the knowledge
and skills required for the global market. Also I can complete my
postgraduate degree in a shorter period of time than is possible in
most countries and avail the opportunity of being a part of a dynamic
international culture.
‘I have been living on-campus in one of the high rise accommodations
and it has been a wonderful experience for me. The biggest advantage is
that you save so much time and money which you would have spent
otherwise travelling. You don’t really need to worry when you have a
lecture at 9 o’clock in the morning.
‘At Aston you will meet students coming from different parts of the
world and you can learn a lot about different cultures. I would have
never got an opportunity to make friends from a variety of backgrounds.
You can avail a lot of services like the Library, sports centres,
computer labs, etc. when living on-campus.
‘Birmingham is a very friendly place and a lot of students every
year choose Birmingham as the place of their study. It’s Britain’s
second city and a lot cheaper compared to London, even more green, calm
and peaceful. One more advantage to a student studying at Aston is that
the University is located right in the heart of the city centre of
Birmingham.
‘After completing my course I will be going back to my home country
and will join my family business which is of manufacturing sports
goods. The international exposure that I have gained by studying at
Aston will help me a lot in taking my family business to greater
heights.’
