"I came to Webster initially for the International Relations class. I knew I wanted to get this degree, and it seemed contradictory to work towards an international diploma in my home country. So I proceeded with research on schools abroad. Ultimately, I chose Webster because of the degree flexibility, the wide range of classes and the central London location. Since I want to work abroad, I realized that pursuing an MBA would be essential to my career path."
