More international students than ever are studying in the UK as they seek to better understand other cultures and gain a global mindset. The opportunity to experience different languages, cuisines, and customs is exciting, and by absorbing a new cultural environment and learning from a different educational system, many students feel they have a more enriching experience than if they had studied in their home country.
One of the most popular study options for international students in the UK is the MBA. Studying for an MBA requires a huge investment of time, money and energy, so it is crucial to ensure your choice of programme and business school meets your needs.
Coventry University is committed to developing students’ skills, offering a great student experience and helping with future career preparations, with its MBA “aiming to teach students how to respond to the needs of the modern world by thinking critically and strategically in seeking solutions to complex problems. It can help establish better career prospects and salary.”
The Coventry MBA Student View
Zhang Xiai shares her journey of studying at Coventry University
Zhang Xiai from China is studying for an MBA in Business Administration at Coventry University and is keen to share her story.
“I have been in the UK for about half a year. Previously, I studied in the US and travelled to other European countries, including the UK. Because of my diverse educational background and experience, I got used to the UK quite fast.
"When applying, the Coventry University Admissions Team was very efficient compared to other schools. Before I came to the UK, they called me a few times to ask if there is anything they could help with, which helped put me at ease.
"During the course, both lecturers and the other teaching team have been very helpful. The library has an academic team especially focused on assisting students with academic essays. All the school faculty are willing to help us grow and succeed in our course.”
Three reasons Zhang Xiai loved Coventry
- It is the best place to live and enjoy life. The UK is a small country with beautiful scenery and fresh air. You can see castles, churches, forests and lots more!
- The UK has a rich heritage. Most of the museums and galleries in the UK are free and open to students, which means I learned lots about its history.
- Its high standard and diversity in education are impressive. In our MBA class, I have classmates from almost 20 countries, such as the UK, US, China, Canada, India, and so on. Studying at Coventry is a great opportunity to expand my knowledge, meet new people, and experience a new culture, which will enrich my life.
Why an MBA at Coventry was the right choice for me
“I am enjoying my MBA course since all my classmates have lots of experiences in their sectors and we learn from each other. I have not spoken English for a few years, studying the course greatly helps me to pick up my English skills. Also, MBA courses are very comprehensive, by taking this course, I have developed my overall understanding of the global market knowledge as well as enhanced my management skills.
"A master’s degree is very important in China especially in the managerial sector. I am running my own business, so I need to cultivate a deeper perspective in my career as well as gain better managerial capability to operate the business well.”
