Why did you choose to study this Masters course at Alliance Manchester Business School?
I chose the course at AMBS because it is unique across the UK and has an outstanding reputation. It has lots of opportunities to apply your knowledge in practical projects and at the same time get to know about all the current new research. The inclusion of The British Psychological Society’s Level A and B Psychometric Testing Qualification and the possibility to be awarded a scholarship by the AMBS are huge advantages as well.
What were you doing before your MSc?
I was studying Technology & Management as an undergraduate in Germany, and completed internships in the field of organisational psychology.
What are your career plans after graduation?
I would like to travel for some time after graduation and then go back to Germany to work as a business psychologist in an international company.
What is the best thing about studying at Alliance MBS?
The relations with the lecturers - they are very supportive and approachable. Just send them an e-mail about whatever question or concern you might have and you will get a detailed and helpful response very quickly. Apart from that, the Alan Gilbert Learning Commons is a very comfortable and modern place to study.
How much time do you spend in classes and in private study?
We have lectures 12 hours per week. Luckily, they are all on Monday and Tuesday, so we have the rest of the week to organize our private study whenever we want to. I usually work about 25-30 hours per week in private study (including group projects)
How would you describe your student experience so far?
My student life here was quite challenging so far, but especially before all the deadlines are coming, there is time to enjoy the city. I also make sure I have fun and meet new people at the university’s societies, go hiking and take trips to explore the UK which I enjoy very much as an international student new to the UK.
What’s the best thing about living in Manchester?
The city has a lot to offer � for eating out, having a coffee, going out at night, shopping, sport etc. I personally love nature and I can easily reach national parks like the Peak District or Lake District from here for a hike.
What advice would you give to those considering studying at Alliance MBS?
AMBS is one of the top business schools across the UK. The course requires a lot of dedication and hard work, so you have to be willing to put those extra hours in. However, in exchange you will gain enormous knowledge, insight, opportunities to practice, and achieve a well-recognized qualification.
