My ideal dream job is to set up an educational institution
from the basic level to junior-high level,
to assist students who are in need
and bring out their skills and ideas into reality.
I wanted to do an MBA because
all along I have always wanted to be an entrepreneur.
The University of Aberdeen MBA has given me a lot of tools, skills,
to come out with what I really want to do.
An MBA is a great career choice,
especially if you're interested in getting into business.
It can really help you develop the underpinning knowledge
that can take you from a technical and a specialist area
into a much more wider business profession.
It will cover things like how to lead and manage teams and individuals.
It will cover things like marketing, sales,
and also issues such as finance and project management.
What we try to do on all our courses
is simulate what it's like to be doing the task or the topic in practice
in a professional world.
So, the lecturers give you the underpinning knowledge,
but the key thing that we give you
is the chance to try out some of the ideas in practice.
The most inspiring course so far is New Venture Creation.
I have been able to learn how to present a three-minute video pitch
on how to sell my idea to get sponsorship.
Many businesses in the real world today are facing threats from organisations
and competition that they could never have imagined.
We've seen companies like Spotify, the online streaming service,
take on some of the major players in that sector,
and they came from nowhere.
So one of the things we do emphasise
is the need to think innovatively about all aspects of your business,
whether it's how to lead in challenging times
or whether it is how to plan and develop new products and services.
The University of Aberdeen Business School is remarkably international.
We don't have one nationality that dominates.
We have over 50 countries represented on our cohorts,
and we'd love you to be a part of that.
The University of Aberdeen is a nice place, a nice environment.
We have lecturers who are really equipped with experience
that's not only in theory but very practical, to help you shape what you have already.
The Business School at Aberdeen is really well perceived in the outside world.
As part of that, the Business School, and in particular its management team,
have been at the heart of innovations in business practice,
and that's reflected in the fact that we're now in the top three
university management teams for research in the United Kingdom.
We have, if you like, two types of people who you will engage with in the teaching.
You'll have our research academics,
who are internationally renowned and experienced in their particular fields,
but alongside that, we have a series of executive fellows.
These are people who are practising in the same areas,
but working in a professional capacity in a business.
Students from our MBA programme
have gone into a wide and diverse range of professional settings.
From Fortune 500 companies through to charities
and other not-for-profit organisations, as well as public service roles.
Specifically they've gone into IT sectors,
we've had people who've gone to work for Google,
many of the energy industry companies such as Shell and BP,
as well as some of the more wider-ranging government organisations.
I'm very optimistic about my future
because I have the ambition to help society.
So with these new skills,
experience I have learnt from my MBA course
will really help me to achieve that.
