Why did you choose to study this Masters course at Alliance Manchester Business School?
Having studied a technical degree I wanted to broaden my skill set and develop some soft skills. I felt Operations, Project and Supply Chain Management was the perfect course for me as it was still based on problem solving and analytical thinking but applied to business. Alliance Manchester Business School is a highly ranked business school, which influenced my decision to apply. However, having done my undergraduate degree at The University of Manchester, I had really enjoyed living in Manchester and was eager to stay.
