Before starting at Webster I flew to London for a couple of days to visit a few Universities beforehand. I wanted to be sure to make the right choice as it would be an important decision in my academic life. My first impressions of Webster were very positive. The beautiful location of the campus in the middle of Regent’s park, the friendliness of the staff and the diverse student body made my final choice for Webster not a difficult one.

Looking back at my year in London, I must say I made a wise selection. Webster is not just a University; determined students can gain from their study period in various ways. Every hour in class is a possibility to learn not only from the professor but also from your fellow classmates, who come from every corner of the world bringing their own mindsets and diverse experience with them. Assignments are designed to approximate real life challenges, the student-staff relationship is on a very personal basis, an open door policy is self-evident and social contacts amongst students are promoted through regular events organised by staff and student’s government. Interested students also have the option to get a first taste of one of the world’s leading business centres through internships organised by Webster.

Personal Growth

On a more personal side, the year at Webster London helped me to personally grow in many ways. Through the involvement in the student government I could improve my interpersonal as well as leadership skills. One of my professors offered me an internship in his company where I could apply some of the skills I learned and also gave me an insight into the hedge fund industry which helped me to get a permanent position at a hedge fund company shortly after my graduation. Webster's world-wide network enabled me to study my final term at Webster Shanghai, a city which became my new home. Last but not least I made friends for life and can be sure that I will always have a place to stay in London.
