Student profiles
Hear from our students
Prior to starting my masters degree, I knew I wanted to go into the finance industry but did not know exactly where. Thanks to the lecturers, the modules I’ve taken so far, and the industry talks I have attended, I believe I’ve worked out which career I would like to go into once I have finished the degree.
The course provides students with a lot of autonomy, both in terms of how you manage your studies outside of class and which topics you choose for your assignments. This flexibility means you can apply the foundational concepts from lectures to industries and businesses of interest to you. I particularly enjoyed blending my Japanese background with my corporate strategy unit by examining Kansai Electric Power Company.
I applaud Manchester Met for the quality of their teaching. I was amazed with the level of knowledge my tutors had and their backgrounds in industry. They work with big companies and use up-to-date case studies to explain concepts to us in a real, engaging way.
