Why Teesside?

I wanted to study somewhere that could provide a market-relevant MBA curriculum with European exposure. Teesside offered the best of both.

An MBA was a natural step up for me to grow into a bigger leadership role.

What do you like most?

The course is well structured and relevant, and I had some helpful support from my module tutors. I particularly enjoyed the Competitive Strategy module.

Did you work while studying?

Yes – I am a senior director at Infineon Technologies, a leading semiconductor manufacturing company.

What skills did you gain to help you in your career?

Leadership, the intricacies of team building, creating a competitive strategy and organisation building. All of these will help me in my career going forward.
