The MBA has delivered everything I had hoped for and expected – it has enriched my skills and knowledge across a wide variety of business operations and really added value to my own career experience. All of this combines to create a level of competence that means I have very confidently moved into the c-suite and can discuss business operations in depth with high profile investors.

In 2016, I had just taken on a new role and wanted to join an MBA that would allow me time to study and work at the same time. I was lucky to see the immediate impact as I studied for my MBA. I became a Director during the course, which I finished in 2018, and since then, I have been promoted two more times. I’m now Managing Partner. So, this is the immediate impact that you can see and measure.
