Surrey Business School

I came into the Surrey MBA as one person and left as another: more confident, more grounded, and more connected to my purpose. There’s still so much I’m learning and exploring every day, but the MBA at the University of Surrey will always be the starting point of this journey. Every decision I make now carries a trace of what I learned at Surrey, and I’m genuinely excited for all that lies ahead.

The programme has enabled me to transition from a technically focused role to a more strategic position in product marketing, and I'm now pursuing my dream of building my own marketing agency. My MBA experience was enriched by several impactful real-world projects that provided hands-on consulting experience. A significant highlight was collaborating with American EMBA students from the University of North Carolina Wilmington on consulting projects for the NHS and System1 during their visit to London. This cross-cultural collaboration provided valuable insights into healthcare and marketing technology sectors while enhancing my international business perspective. In France, through our partnership with Toulouse Business School, I worked on the Globecom project where we consulted for Naio Technology, an innovative agritech manufacturer. These diverse projects culminated in my consultancy work with SSTL Airbus. Each project offered unique challenges and learning opportunities, from healthcare innovation to space technology, providing me with a well-rounded understanding of different industries and international business practices. For those contemplating an MBA at Surrey, I would emphasize that the programme offers more than just academic knowledge - it provides a transformative experience that combines practical learning with international exposure. If you're looking to expand your business acumen, gain international exposure, and transform your career trajectory, Surrey's MBA programme provides the perfect platform to achieve these goals.
