With the excellent streams in Finance and Technology the UEA MBA couldn’t have been any better for my aspiring return to the Square Mile and the financial district of London.
How did the MBA change your life personally and professionally?
The MBA personally challenged me to return to academic learning and knowledge acquisition. Something that I had not done since my first degree, 26 years previously, but I was well supported in the preparation, development, and understanding by the pastoral and student services that the Business School also have.
What did you go on to do after you graduated?
And this is where I credit the UEA and Norwich Business School with my greatest success, I have returned to the Financial sector in the City of London, managing at a senior level, large scale, multi-million pound technology projects.
What advice do you have for those who are joining the programme?
The single piece of advice I felt I struggled with is ‘Ask,speak up, reach out’ the Business School has leading experts in their field, but also has pastoral and support services in place. It took me a while to reach out, even though I suffer from Bi-Polar, which when I did the University were there at every time I needed support.
