³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ

Finding out I had been accepted at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Business School 

I was in my hometown (Delhi) when I received the most exhilarating piece of news: I had been accepted at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Business School.  

 Before sleeping, I checked my phone to see if there were any updates; I saw an email from ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ that had ‘Congratulations’ in its subject. When I opened the email, I was overwhelmed with joy as it was an acceptance email! I ran out of my room to the living room where my parents were while screaming at the top of my lungs. After receiving a scolding for scaring them (fairly), I told them the news and they had a similar reaction to mine. It was so fulfilling as ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Business School was my first choice. 

Why I chose ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Business School

The combination of economics and management is very unique and hard to come across, but it was exactly what I wanted to do. To get to study my preferred combination at a Business School that trains you for the real world and is highly reputed was an opportunity I could not forego. Before applying, it felt like a far-reach to apply to ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ but once I had the acceptance letter in front of me, it wasn’t a hard decision to make. 

What it means to me to be studying at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ 

The first month in London did not feel real. I was having trouble internalising the fact that I am actually studying at my top choice (Business School and programme) and global top 10 university. 

For me, studying at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Business School is all about grabbing all opportunities with both hands. The Business School is way more resourceful than I could have thought. While the academics are first-rate, the extracurricular and cocurricular opportunities are endless. I am proactive in participating in a variety of workshops, sessions, and career events, and also love visiting any markets or pop-ups at the university. 

Studying at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Business School is probably the best decision I have ever made. 

How I am finding the programme so far 

The programme is really intriguing and flexible. Not only are the core modules really interesting and practical but we also have diverse choices of electives. 

I found the Corporate Strategy module to be my personal favourite so far; this all about a firm’s scope, determining which businesses and activities to include within the boundaries of the firm. The class isn’t really a lecture format but revolves around discussions. The assessment structure was also quite nice with us applying knowledge from our discussions and material to solve business problems. I am beyond excited to explore where the programme takes me. 

What I am most looking forward to  

I am excited to study the electives that I have selected as I have chosen sustainability-oriented modules (aligned with my interest area). Additionally, I am looking forward to undertaking the consulting project in the summer wherein real companies come to ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ with real business problems. It feels surreal to get to solve actual business issues as part of the programme.
