H ailing from an IT background, I wanted to acquire management and leadership skills through a combination of academics and practical explorations. Sheffield University Management School worked very well for this. A small and diverse cohort facilitated and created a conducive environment for personal growth along with focused and personal interaction from module leaders, international study trips, and numerous networking events to socialise and build connections.
The icing on the cake was my experience at the Global Masters Challenge organised by Universities Business Challenge (UBC) . The course helped me develop core business and management acumen by providing new global perspectives. A rigorous curriculum, combined with practical applications, real-world case studies, group projects, and lectures from industry experts contributed to a well-rounded educational experience.
For instance, the Marketing Consultancy Challenge, taught by a former McKinsey consultant, helped me gain skills in identifying core problems with clients and developing achievable strategies. Moreover, the support from the Employability Hub was invaluable. I had access to skill development in networking and personal branding for LinkedIn, individual career coaching, resume and CV writing support, and weekly newsletters highlighting career events, job placement opportunities, and access to the Association of MBA (AMBA) online training.
The course has significantly sharpened my analytical prowess, fostered .
