What attracted you to your programme and studying at UCL?

My journey to UCL's Master in Management was driven by a quest for a programme that could seamlessly integrate with and enhance my academic path. Its flexible structure promised a customised learning experience, enriched by a wide selection of elective courses.

This flexibility was key, enabling me to zero in on subjects that aligned with my career goals and personal growth ambitions. 

The vibrant UCL community and its global network played a pivotal role in my choice. Engaging with peers from every corner of the world not only deepened my academic insights but also expanded my cultural horizons, fostering an environment ripe for both personal and professional development. 

UCL's strategic location in the heart of London, with the Business School close to Canary Wharf, presented unmatched opportunities. The city's dynamic mix of culture and commerce enriched my educational experience, offering a real-world backdrop to theoretical studies. This unique combination of rigorous academics, a lively international community, and the bustling life of London was exactly the springboard I needed to leap into the challenges of the business world. 
 

What are your favourite memories of your time at UCL? 

My favourite memories of my time at UCL centre around the moments shared with classmates from across the globe, both in and out of the classroom. These experiences fostered not just academic growth but also a profound sense of global community.

Whether we were engaging in group projects, sharing diverse perspectives during lectures, or exploring the cultural richness of London together, each moment contributed to a deeply rewarding educational journey. Moreover, the support and attention from professors and the university played a significant role in enhancing our learning experience, making us feel valued and empowered.  

Lastly, living in the heart of one of the world's most vibrant cities was an extraordinary opportunity. London's dynamic culture and history enriched my time at UCL, making it truly unforgettable.
