Coming from Pakistan, taking a masters degree in the UK was the chance of a lifetime. But I needed a university which was highly reputed amongst employers and doing cutting-edge research. That's why I chose WBS.

This course is challenging and intensive with some modules in very new fields developed by WBS staff. This means I am one step ahead of students from other universities - for both research and jobs.

The WBS experience is unique because you meet people from all around the world and learn about many different cultures at one place. We learn to work with people from different countries and with different work styles which is a skill highly valued by employers.

WBS is giving me connections all over the world, while developing my analytical thinking and self-belief. I am very proud to call Warwick My University.
