I feel honoured to have been taught by OBE Awarded professors and lecturers that actively publish about current issues in Accountancy in well-known journals.

The opportunity to learn from experts along with meeting and networking with a diverse group of students from all over the world has been an amazing experience!

Henley provides students with professional tutoring in the programme, but also many opportunities combining theory and practice. They are very concerned with career planning and I am very grateful to the school for helping me transition from student to professional.

The programme is in line with the trend of future property market development. You are able to benefit from top educational and industry resources which is a rare opportunity to understand the real estate financial market.

Receiving a scholarship has provided an international platform for me, spurring future opportunities.

The program was very interesting and useful for building a professional career in human resources. The professors were creating activities to better understand the theories and this was a small simulation of a professional environment.

The Whiteknights campus's vast greenery and general calmness was a huge influencer on my productivity – a perfect atmosphere for both studies and relaxing! Having had an enjoyable time as an undergraduate, I decided to stay on and do a masters.

I was lucky enough to receive the MSc Management scholarship, which massively helped me to focus on my studies, as I did not have the financial pressures of funding the course. It allowed me to not have the pressure of taking on a part-time job, and meant that I could benefit from giving the course my full attention. I am incredibly grateful to have received this scholarship, and it has given me an extra incentive to get the most out of my studies!

The study trip not only provided a different perspective to business in an international context, but also opportunities to bond with other students from a variety of backgrounds and gain experiences I can draw upon for life.

I have been awarded two scholarships from the University of Reading and Henley Business School. This opportunity allows me to focus on my study and gives me a chance to take part in university activities. When I applied for the scholarships, I put all my effort into a written essay related to my experience, which helped me to reflect and improve myself. Writing as a reflective essay allows me to enhance my core capabilities that contribute to future goals.

I had some doubts before undertaking my Masters as it was in a subject I had no prior academic knowledge in. However, this year has been incredible and I am so thankful that I took the challenge.

I took the challenge to study a Master’s at Henley. The course outline was challenging but very well structured which helped my study and learning. My advice for anyone looking to do a Master’s is to just 100% do it!
