What attracted you to the MBA programme at Kent Business School and why?
I was looking for one-year MBA programme which provides me knowledge on HRM, Leadership Skills, Operational, Marketing and Finance. But when I saw KBS modules, which include Entrepreneurship, CSR and Sustainability, International Challenge, and the cohort with vast experience of both full-time and part-time and average work experience of 38 years, this is what attracted me to KBS. Apart from this, being in a top 1% business school in the world with triple accreditation and the study trip for consultancy work is a further attraction.
I want to explore the different verticals of the business like HRM, Leadership, Operational, so that it helps to make effective decision making and policies, which requires MBA degree to support my qualification.
Aspiration
I want to work with the best consultancy firms and help them to reduce their cost, increase efficiency, and implement the best policy for employees, so that employees work for the vision and mission of the organisation and can grow mutually.
Advice
Believe in your vision. Keep up-skilling yourself. Take care of human resources as they are the key for the organisation, who can either make or break it. And be humble and try to become a leader not a manager.
