The MSc at LSBF, which allowed her to choose her own pathway in Global Brand Management, has given her the skills to put her well on her way towards her goal of becoming the manager of a prestigious international brand. “I chose the Marketing course at LSBF because it suited my needs best and I was impressed that I could choose my own pathway to tailor the course to my specific career ambitions. I got more insight into the world of marketing than I could have imagined.
