Hi, I'm Eleanor, a second year BSc International Business student. I love travelling, hiking, reading, culture and languages.

What made you choose to study Business Management? 

The business school is triple crown accredited and ranked highly (still does). I remember visiting an Offer Holder Visit Day and hearing about all the opportunities outside of the course such as study abroad opportunities, placements, semesters at the Dubai campus. I wanted to go to uni for more than just the academics so this really appealed to me.

How has Birmingham helped you throughout your studies? 

Careers Network have massively helped me: from supporting my in first year when applying to B-Experienced Internships to helping me receive offers for 2 placement years in second year. In Year 2, I saved the Marketing Society, which was such an incredible and rewarding opportunity so the Guild helped me & my committee a lot during that year. We grew the society from 0 to 117 members, won the Kick-Start Award at the Guild Awards, secured a sponsorship from Mars, put on 6 guest speaker events and the society is still going!

What's your favourite place in Birmingham? 

Albert’s Schloss. I create TikToks and this semester alone, they have reached 370k views which shows students enjoy going there too and learning more about this side of student life. I don’t drink so I like to show that you can still have a blast and enjoy a night out sober.
