Rinki's career so far...

"Having completed my Bachelor’s in Mass Media, with majors in Advertising, I kick-started my career in marketing. I have worked in the field of Public Relations, Advertising, Digital and Social Media in India and Dubai, applying what I have learnt over my graduate course of three years. My last professional experience was as a Marketing Manager for global sports brands such as Umbro, Skechers, Palladium and K-Swiss. With over 10 years of experience, I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in marketing and looking for a challenging new phase in my career."

Why did you choose NTU and your course?

“As an experienced marketing professional, I was looking for a course that would fit me just right, and enable me to further myself in my career. The MSc. Marketing course was perfect, as it is designed keeping Marketing Managers of the future in mind. In addition to the course, I loved the Nottingham vibe, and I knew NTU was the best choice for me.”

What motivated you to enrol on the course? 

"The pandemic gave me a lot of time to think and put things into perspective. The slowing down of pace provided the best opportunity to upgrade my skills through a master’s programme. That, along with finding the right course at NTU motivated me to enrol onto the course."
