Student Stories
“I chose UON because I liked the course content very much. It had a good faculty and the option to do assignment only, which suited me as I am a working professional who took the MBA to upskill myself.
I am now Project Manager with Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, project managing different projects that help improve the business and our digital projects. When I heard I had got the job I was ecstatic! It was a great way forward after a period of static for five years.
My advice to potential students is to take the plunge as it is worth every effort. It will not only make a difference in your working life but your social life too!”
– Nikhil Ashref, MBA
“Finding a one-year fixed term contract can be challenging but one of my professors suggested to look out for maternity cover jobs. I had worked as a part-time Graduate Tutor at UON and I knew I wanted to pursue a career in the education sector. The job I found was Team Leader for Student Services at South Essex College. I knew I had some transferable skills from my role as Graduate Tutor so I did not hesitate to apply.
My main duty is to manage 10 members of staff including 8 Students’ Union staff members, an Enrichment Associate and a Sports Associate across all 6 Campuses. Daily tasks also include leading on the planning of events/activities, supporting the Enrichment Team to improve engagement with other departments at the College and producing reports and feedback for the Senior Leadership Team.
The opportunity to do a work placement is so valuable. I am able to apply the modules I had taken on the MBA course previously and this has helped them to make more sense. I have been able to put what we have learnt in a real-world scenario and that has really helped my overall understanding.” You can read Shivka’s blog in full here.
