Built in Birmingham, forged for the future

My experience at Birmingham has been invaluable to kind of moving into this career path.

So, not only was I a social secretary, but also worked part time fundraising for some of the amazing initiatives Birmingham was supporting.

So that was really great for honing my sales skills, which helped me, kind of, get on to the grad scheme at PepsiCo.

I was looking for an opportunity academically to broaden my horizons that would, in the future, allow me to have that push professionally as well.

The University of Birmingham course allowed me to gain that experience.

It exposed me to so many new opportunities, to so many new contacts in the sector, that I was able to go off and meet and talk to and learn from, whilst also being able to drive that knowledge back into my role and grow personally and professionally as a result.

My time at the University has had a lasting impact on my career.

It taught me not just the science, but also how to communicate, how to interact with people, how to inspire young people.

I think my journey at university really helped prepare me for my career, because of the vast amount of people that you meet at university.

I think because UOB attracts people from all over the world.

It's just an amazing place to network and talk to people and really build your confidence in that sense.

I would 100% recommend studying at UOB.

I think academically it's amazing.

It's got such an incredible reputation.

I couldn't recommend it more.
