Progress to postgraduate study at Teesside University

Progressing to postgraduate study was for Yvonne Cherrington vital in helping her to develop professionally and see her own businesses flourish.

Entrepreneur Yvonne is in the second year of the MBA (Master of Business Administration), studying part-time at Teesside University’s Darlington campus.

Yvonne, of Darlington, runs two businesses; Red Pressures, which provides interim management, coaching and mentoring and Red Virtual Administrative Services, which offers online business services to help SMEs and micro-businesses move forward.

She said: 'The MBA was invaluable in helping me to establish and develop my own businesses and vital in helping to put me a step ahead of my competitors.

'It was challenging at times balancing study with running my own businesses, but the MBA has really helped me to see how to market my businesses and also really helped to increase my confidence.'

Yvonne added: 'It's great too that we have a University campus on our doorstep in Darlington, which was one of the main reasons I wanted to complete the MBA here. It has helped to achieve so much.'

Teesside University is holding two open days to offer advice to those seeking to progress professionally through further study through a range of postgraduate courses, from digital animation to clinical psychology, forensic science to fraud management.
