Business Management BA(Hons): After you graduate

"I chose to study Business Management at Kingston because of the broad nature of the course, which covers every aspect of the subject. This was ideal for me as I didn't have a specific area of interest.

"The reputation of the University and the beautiful campus were also big draws. The number of international students was an extra incentive as it was my first time living in a foreign country.

"Luckily, the course lived up to my expectations. It offered a wide variety of modules and I could select the ones I enjoyed most. The staff helped in any way they could and had an open door policy at all times.

"The University also has lots of social activities on offer. I joined the football and rugby teams, for example. This helped me get my current job because it showed I'm well-rounded, as did the fact that I studied abroad and lived in London.

"I am now working for the second largest bank in Portugal. My job is difficult to summarise because of the wide variety of tasks it involves. But one of the things I do is develop new products for the bank. This involves market analysis and customer profiling.

"Although I only graduated five months ago, my studies at Kingston have already helped me in several ways. I've found the most important lessons were the practical and group work, curiously the aspects I thought were least important at the time.

"The practical sessions have taught me how to deal with people and work in a team, crucial for my job. The theoretical part of the course sharpened my thinking process, which has become more coherent and in line with the business world.

"Kingston offers you a great course that you can personalise by selecting the modules you believe are best for you. The staff are friendly and always available, which is crucial during exam periods or when you need help with assignments. The social life is also fantastic. Kingston is known all around the UK for its nightlife."
