What did you find most valuable about your course at Westminster? How did the skills you learnt during your degree help you to shape your career?
The course I studied has been highly influential in my self-development and in the development of my career. Much of what I learnt was related to our everyday lives and has helped me make decisions that will be beneficial in fulfilling my personal goals as well as career goals. During my third year at Westminster, I took on a module on International Project Management that triggered my interest in project management. From this, I was able to go into the career I am in today and I love it!
Why would you recommend Westminster as a place to study?
The methods used in our learning process helped us learn in a way that was more hands-on and can not only be applied to our future career but if you're not sure it can also help to trigger your interests in what type of career you want to go into. There is lots of support from the University and the location is great for networking as well as gaining friends from across the world.
