About my LeedsMet

The final rush has finished, all assignments have been submitted. I feel a bit nostalgic and reflective….But recently I’ve  made friends with dissertation, which keeps me in good shape  🙂

Just want to summarise my 8 month in Leeds Met.

Advantages:

  • It was great to meet so many international students with different backgrounds. I really enjoyed the stories about traditions, people, religion, habits. Despite  this fact I suppose we get on very well and this experience make us more open-minded, which certainly will help in business life
  • The educational system is mostly built on independent studies  therefore I learnt many skills like finding some particular information from huge amount of resources, self-discipline, time-management and etc
  • My English has improved to the certain extent, but still  I have my hands full and it’s too earlier to relax. I really want to speak several languages fluently. I’ve just started to learn French again and again 🙂
  • The teacher’s attitude to the student and  willing to support us.
  • Brilliant organization of  a studying process and lot’s of facilities.

My expectation that didn’t exceeded:

  • More practical approach and probably some field marketing work
  • More lectures or even seminars with marketing specialists
  • Sometimes it was hard to choose the group, because we haven’t seen each other before and have no clue about personalities therefore not everyone contribute adequately.  But I was lucky, cause almost all my group works were great and useful.

 I really want to thank all my teachers and classmates for such an excellent experience. I suppose I will miss this time in future, although it was not easy….
