Programme: MA Marketing Management

Overview

Since I plan to add the foundation of a business education and build on my current skills to develop an expertise in certain areas – marketing, management, and entrepreneurial skills in the UK, I chose Westminster Business School as it provides a strong core curriculum and attractive marketing electives that fit my needs. I am impressed with the high quality teaching that is beyond my expectation, supportive lecturers and staff, its outstanding faculty and research facilities and the focus on global perspectives. It not only allows me to develop both theoretical and practical business knowledge, but it also assists me in becoming a truly global executive; qualified business leaders that Thailand needs.

The UK educational system of a discussion-based learning style and reliable assessment method is also internationally recognised. Studying in a multicultural learning environment gives me an invaluable chance to develop many professional working skills, be able to think critically and systematically, and to exchange experiences with other colleagues. Having awarded the scholarship to pursue a master degree in Marketing Management at the University of Westminster, it is truly one of the happiest and the most honourable times of my life, I would like to thank you the university for this scholarship opportunity. Though the master degree course has taken up so much of my time, I still find moments to enjoy life in such a dynamic and diverse cultural city of London. I trust that the professional and personal experiences I have acquired throughout one year studying in the UK will be valuable and mould me into independent and confident business acumen.
