Rie Ota

Nationality: Japanese
Degree: MBA, May 2007

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.
