Why Durham?
Choosing a university for my postgraduate studies was not an easy choice. Durham University stands out for me because it offers a rigorous curriculum with an international body of students and as a top 100 university in many league tables.
Furthermore, it has a unique collegiate system, which only a handful of universities offers in the United Kingdom, and fosters both ancient traditions and modernity that truly makes the educational experience here something extraordinary.
Receiving a Business School scholarship
The Masters Achievement Scholarship helped me in so many ways. After doing my undergraduate studies in the UK, I would never have thought to be able to continue my further studies as I fear the fees would be too incremental towards my family. But Durham made it possible for me to pursue my dream in doing a management degree, which not only lessened the financial burden towards my family but also made the funds already allocated for further studies into my interpersonal development.
Furthermore, the scholarship scheme was made incredibly efficient to ensure prospective students were not worried about applying, as it is automatically considered alongside our course application by the Business School.
Studying MSc Management at Durham
The MSc Management programme is academically challenging, which makes my daily schedule quite hectic. But I thoroughly enjoy it as it gives me a real sense of how corporate life would be, especially since, we also work with an external company for our consultancy project.
The facilities offered to Business students make me confident that Durham serves to put the best interest of its students in ensuring the environment is as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.
My top tips
My top tip for studying at Durham University would be to give it your all, take up all the opportunities that the Business School is giving us.
As I reflect on my time here in Durham, I realise that studying here has opened my horizons to an international body of students, each with different thoughts and philosophies. I adored that, as I could learn how different cultures might work with each other and it gave me the opportunity to step outside of my comfort zones.
