“I liked my peers and we directly formed a study group to help stay connected. The online library provides resources that allow you to enhance your self-learning process. The connection with students from a different background and cultures is by itself a learning experience as it enhances one’s global acumen.

“At the stage of the dissertation I was offered a role in consulting at one of the big four companies. The business concepts and frameworks learned during my MBA helped me climb up the ladder fast, and I took on a managerial role around one year after joining the consulting firm.

“Getting a consulting job, due to accomplishing the MBA at a reputable university like Leicester has transformed my life drastically.” Suha, MBA graduate, 2015
