Enquire to study in the UK 
Ulrica Burden always knew she would not settle for less. She is committed to being the best version of herself by making most of her bold ideas and big dreams come true. While some might see her as audacious, she feels she’s simply living her life to the fullest.
Burden takes the same sumptuous approach to her education. Today, she holds a Master in Management (MIM), specialising in Blockchain Management, from GBSB Global Business School. Her path to this business school rated five stars by the QS Rating System for Teaching Quality had been anything but conventional. After high school, Burden completed a culinary course and built a catering, events, and restaurant-style café business crafting “memorable experiences for others.” “This hands-on experience exposed me to all facets of business, from ideation to execution,” she says. “Hosting events for up to 200 people taught me the art of adaptability and resilience, both invaluable lessons.”
But with the birth of her first child, Burden knew balancing a chef’s graveyard shifts with motherhood would be unsustainable. That’s when she shifted her focus to her other passion: health and wellness. When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, she was forced to close her business, prompting her to explore further study in the digital world. “With a growing family and a newfound interest in digital marketing, I pursued an online certification in the field, while spending time helping at a family-owned business. This is when I discovered GBSB Global Business School,” she says.

GBSB Global, a leader in innovation and digitalisation, stood out in many ways. “The appealing prospectus and access to a network of professionals were critical in my decision-making,” says Burden. “From my initial inquiry to the application and interview process, everything was seamless and professional, confirming I was making the right choice.”

The standout, however, is its MIM programme specialising in Blockchain Management. In this programme, students gain expertise in monetary concepts, cryptocurrencies, and the various applications of a technology that the World Economic Forum expects 10% of global GDP could be tokenised and stored on by 2027.

For Burden, the MIM was a challenging yet rewarding experience. She mastered the core principles of blockchain technology and explored the laws and regulations surrounding it before taking on the final capstone project. It’s a subject with many intricacies — but thanks to “outstanding lecturers who consistently went the extra mile to provide the best learning experience and feedback” Burden gained a litany of skills, from data analytics and regulatory compliance to specialised problem-solving and advanced digital skills.
As a result, Burden has achieved “immense growth in both her personal and professional lives.” Since graduating, she has launched a wellness business and is currently working on starting an innovation agency consulting for firms at a global scale. “The MIM in Blockchain Management programme provided me with the ability, skills, and network to excel in the dynamic field of blockchain technology and the digital world,” she says.
