I have developed a diverse range of personal and business-related skills
What students sayI chose WBS for its renowned reputation and excellent and safe campus location.
Its high standard of teaching and research was a strong indicator and assurance of the solid educational level I would be provided with.
Warwick was my first choice, as no other university provided the unique International Business perspective.
I wanted to gain a solid basis in understanding the multi-dimensional business nature in the context of the international arena.
I was particularly drawn to the WBS course because of the opportunity to enhance my French language skills by studying and living in France for one year.
Having been brought up in Quebec, and always been interested in languages, I saw this course as an excellent opportunity to combine two areas of interest.
Now I've finished my studies, I can see that I have developed a diverse range of personal and business-related skills which will be highly beneficial for the work context, and also everyday life.
I have had the opportunity to experience living in two new countries, England and France, and subsequently enhanced my cultural awareness.
The style at WBS is very independent;
you are responsible for your own learning and progress, and there is a comfortable balance between lectures and seminars.
The seminars are particular interactive, as the emphasis is on giving presentations enables critical assessment of your own work, contribution and progress through the eyes of your fellow students.
I believe studying at WBS has prepared me for the challenges and opportunities that await in the 'real' world in terms of:
providing valuable insight and knowledge of diverse areas within business studies; helping my personal development by encouraging me to take responsibility for my own learning; and in enhancing my critical reflection and mindset.
My studies played an important role in deciding my career path.
They gave me fundamental knowledge for starting a graduate training programme within operations for an investment bank.
