"My life has always had an international focus. Born and raised in Germany, I completed my undergraduate business degree at the University of Pforzheim, Germany, while spending two years studying and working in the USA and Mexico. I was looking for a course which would not only provide a practical business foundation but also to open the door to an international learning experience.

"The interaction with so many different people from different parts of the world made this course unique and really special. The sessions were taught in smaller groups meaning we could engage and learn from each others' experiences.

"The support of the course leaders and administration of the course is excellent. I particularly found the individual mentoring sessions extremely valuable, as well as the English sessions to improve academic writing skills.

"One of my greatest achievements during my time at Nottingham Business School, was being awarded with the Vice Chancellor Scholarship for the summer school at the Beijing Culture and Language University.

"From the knowledge and practical skills I have learned, the global business insight I have gained, and the group of brilliant, interesting, and fun-loving classmates I have met, this course has given me a year in Nottingham that I will never forget."
