“ One significant opportunity on my course has been the applied company research project offered in place of a dissertation . I worked as a consultant at a bespoke software company , Secret Attic Software , which I truly believe accentuated my portfolio when applying to graduate schemes . As a result of the experiences I had whilst at Keele Management School , I will be embarking on a graduate scheme at Ernst and Young where I hope to take the consulting skills I gained over the summer to make a profound impact on the world of business .”

“ My MSc at Keele Management School was a fantastic experience . The lectures and content were challenging but very interesting and professionally relevant . The teaching staff were always friendly and available to help me with any topic areas that I was struggling with . The non-academic staff were also approachable and happy to help with any queries . The course has given me confidence in my ability to conduct research and analytical work in a variety of study areas . I am currently looking for jobs in data analysis and risk management positions . I would like to thank all the staff and students who made my time at Keele so enjoyable .”
Mairi with Professor Kurt Allman , Dr Caroline Miller , Dr Nia Hughes and Professor Adrian Palmer .
“ Although I was only at the University for 1 year , I felt a great sense of belonging that stemmed from the supportive network that the University provides for all of its students . During my studies , I found that my lecturers were always willing to offer additional help and guidance which helped me , and many others , to flourish and achieve our academic potential .
In February I am moving to Dubai , where my family has recently relocated , in order to begin my career in Marketing . I am confident that my degree will help me to procure a suitable position .”
