Why did you choose to study for your MBA at Sheffield Hallam University?
`After many years in various industries, I found myself unemployed the year before my 40th birthday. Having left school at 16 with very few qualifications, I had a flash of inspiration and decided to go to university. I studied business full-time at Sheffield Hallam, graduating in 2005. I continued to study part-time and completed a Professional Postgraduate Diploma in Marketing from the Chartered Institute of Marketing in 2006.
Shortly afterwards, I found myself working in an organisation where everybody had a masters degree or PhD. I realised that to progress, I would need to continue studying. I wanted something that would allow me to continue the range of subject in my first degree. So I looked around at what was on offer in terms of modes of study and cost and found Sheffield Hallam University. The deciding factors were that I was familiar with the location, the studying fitted around my schedule, and because I was a self-funder and a previous Sheffield Hallam student, I got 10% discount.
What skills did you develop on your course that you use in your current role?
The MBA developed my skills in critical thinking. The course also taught me how to recognise models of behaviour in organisational contexts and relate them to academic theory. This gives me a better insight and understanding of strategic options in order to achieve the desired objectives.
How has your career progressed since studying the MBA?
I joined a small consultancy, working on central policy as well as at regional and local levels across the NHS. I built up my practice area into the largest of its kind in England. In April 2012, I started my own consultancy, allowing me to build a private income stream so I can return to further study.'
