Some of the highlights of the programme relate to how technical it is. As I mentioned, I always wanted to learn Python, go deeper into data analytics, and use different frameworks and software like SAS. The quantitative methods are very useful for building models or making predictions. And of course, there is the MIT Global Scale Network. We are going to Boston next January, which will be a great opportunity to learn, network, and meet people internationally, including cohorts in other SCALE locations such as Luxembourg and China.
Since joining the programme, I have received support from everywhere. Ken, the leader of our postgraduate programmes at Loughborough Business School, has been supportive. Our professors are welcoming and always invite us to visit their offices whenever we need something. We also receive support from the career centre for CVs and cover letters, from the library for research, and even from mathematical centres if we want to work on specific skills. It has been very helpful, and I am looking forward to collaborating with all these centres throughout the year.
Outside my studies, I have attended many careers fairs and networking events organised by Loughborough Business School and the University. These gave me the chance to connect directly with British employers, understand the UK job market, and learn about current trends. I have also joined extracurricular activities such as the Gliding Society. I have had flights, completed multiple glides, and we will be doing trips across the country. It has been very interesting.
