A quick introduction - Academic journey so far and
work experience
Sushant is
a commerce graduate and completed his degree in the year 2019. He was
fascinated by the marketing domain and hence, joined a construction company as
an Assistant Marketing Manager. During his stint with this organisation, he
discovered the wide scope available to grow in the marketing domain. Therefore,
he resolved to expand his knowledge to develop his academic and intellectual
skills to tap into opportunities in the marketing arena by pursuing a master’s
degree.
His motivation to pursue higher education
During the
lockdown, Sushant observed the job crunch in the market. Despite the
uncertainties, he noticed that his peers who had pursued their higher education
from reputed universities continued to find job opportunities and flourish in
their chosen career paths. He realised that higher education would value-add to
his work experience as well as accelerate his career. So, to gain deeper
knowledge and develop his expertise, he opted for post-graduation.
We take this opportunity to congratulate Sushant for
his ability to reflect on his academic and professional journey amidst the global
health crisis. Finding the motivation to achieve his academic aspirations is
commendable!
Which academic hubs did Sushant shortlist?
Search
for universities that offer a curriculum with a perfect mix of theoretical and
practical knowledge directed his research to three destinations, the UK, the US
and Canada. Based on parameters such as the cost of education, suitable weather
and shorter course duration, he finally decided to study in the UK. Additionally,
the UK is an English-speaking country, so it is easier to gel with the locals
and make new connections.
How did he select BPP University, UK?
His
previous academic and professional background encouraged Sushant to opt for
post-graduation in Management. He first selected the location, i.e. the UK,
then shortlisted the university. London is buzzing with part-time opportunities
for the student community. So, the strategic location and chance to expand his
network convinced him to go ahead with London.
His
educational consultant too assisted him in finding his dream university. After
conducting thorough research, he chose BPP University as it is popular among
international students for MSc Management. It is located in London, an academic
hub that will allow Sushant to connect with a vibrant student community. He
also explained that one of the important reasons to enrol for this university
is its coursework which includes the Global Strategy subject, which only a few
educational institutes offer.
