Before coming to Webster
Graduate School London, I worked as a project manager for an
e-commerce company in Bangkok, Thailand. I heard about the Webster
campus in Thailand and became really interested in its
international MBA programme. That’s where I started my MBA.
I have lived and worked in Japan,
Taiwan and Thailand and was going to transfer to the Webster campus
in St Louis in the USA and finish my MBA there. However, I decided
to go to Webster Graduate School London first, to see Europe and to
gain a broader view of international business before transferring
to Webster in the USA to finish my MBA. But when I arrived in
London, I found it such an attractive city and adjusted to UK life
so quickly that I’ve decided to settle down in London for good and
start my own business here.
Webster Graduate School London is
really student-orientated. Class sizes are capped at 25, the
atmosphere on campus is very friendly and students come here from
all around the world, opening your eyes to other cultures. London
is so international that students can feel at home here quite
quickly and it’s great to make friends with people from different
countries. The Regent’s Park campus, right in the centre of London,
is a nice environment for studying and convenient for shopping,
museums and entertainment.
Having Webster alumni all over the
world in Asia, Europe and North America has been really useful when
developing my business.
