"My time at Nottingham Business School (NBS) has been truly incredible! The bonds that I have developed with the course lecturers, tutors and my fellow students have made my experience at NTU thoroughly enjoyable. During the year, the School has brought us together on many occasions, including the residential week, the welcome dinner and graduation. These events make you proud to be part of a fantastic community.

"The MSc Marketing course modules and training materials have been great. The icing on the cake has got to be the Consultancy Project though as very few universities offer this opportunity!

"After graduating I felt like I had the whole world at my feet and that all that was left to do was to get myself out there! The transition from study to work was really easy, because of business exposure I benefited from whilst I was still studying. The Consultancy Project in the final year gave the right balance between exposure to the business world and being able to apply learned knowledge. I now work at a global firm on a training programme as an Account Executive in Sales and Advertising.

"I have been in education all the way from school right up to my Masters and other professional qualifications, and have found that it is a strong foundation for how learning in the working environment.

"I feel that I have grown to become a knowledgeable, confident, assertive and independent person: all these stemming from my educational roots and NBS. NBS has had huge impact on my life! It's led me to where I am today and I'm ever so grateful."
