I decided to embark on a master’s degree as a means of professional and personal growth. A Master’s degree offers the opportunity of learning and reinforcing the skills that you have gained from your previous studies or job experience, as well as the opportunity of having access to new professional opportunities.

I wanted to do my master’s degree in a top business school. The Bath MSc in Innovation and Technology Management was very appealing to me because of its international ranking, as well as the uniqueness of the course involving the two areas of my interest: management and engineering.

There are many skills that I learnt from the MSc in ITM. It is a very dynamic course that develops your knowledge and soft skills. Some of the most valuable skills for me are strong critical thinking and time management. My studies involved daily lectures, lots of teamwork and interaction with the lecturers and classmates.

The University of Bath is a very international and diverse place, where you can work with different people all around the world who always have something new to teach you. We all shared the same concerns and we kept the same hope of being able to make a better world. I have made many and great friends here in Bath and I feel very happy for that.

Since graduating, I have been working to promote the Circular Economy in the American Continent. We are developing awareness activities and our largest initiative at the moment is the Circular Economy Forum of the Americas. I am also developing the Circular Economy Platform of the Americas, which is a mechanism to enable transition towards Circular Economy. I love this topic and am glad to be involved in all these projects.
I still hope to pursue a PhD degree in the UK in Innovation Policy. I will develop my career towards the public-sector arenas in my home country, Colombia.

The School of Management Careers Team were invaluable in supporting my graduate employment search and applications.
