Student Profile

Karina

Graduated in 2020

Having trained as a translator and interpreter, I wanted to give life to my dream of having my own company. I followed the traditional way of working for a person or organisation. However, I was determined to start something of my own. Since I didn’t have any background in business, I decided to study management. From that moment on, I saw myself as an entrepreneur.

Then the big question popped up in my head: ‘Where should I study?’ I first thought about studying in my home country, but there were no universities that completely met my expectations. I guess that’s when I considered studying abroad.

After deciding to study in England, I searched universities on different websites. I had three universities in mind, but Bournemouth University was the best option for me. When reading the range of postgraduate degree courses, I was fond of studying MSc Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship.

It’s been four months since I started my classes, and studying leadership, accounting, and innovation has given me a broad insight into the way business is conducted and managed.

‘You are probably at an early stage in your aspirations to perform management and entrepreneurial roles, so this is a wonderful time to have the opportunity to study and learn about ideas and practice, as they have developed, and as they are likely to evolve in the coming years,’ Dr Nasiru Taura, my Programme Leader, stated in an announcement posted a couple of days ago. Studying MSc Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship is showcasing my passion for developing my business.

One of the best highlights was a lecture with the CEO of a start-up. This activity provided my classmates and I with a discussion to have a more valuable learning experience. Listening to an entrepreneur was such a remarkable event. Actually, I learned more about business model innovation through this CEO’s first-hand perspective. I appreciate that BU can invite entrepreneurs for sharing their successful experiences in real-time sessions with students.

Leaving Peru meant saying goodbye to a home full of memories. However, coming to BU was the place where I could make my dreams come true. When I embarked on this adventure, I knew I wanted to do something I was eager to do A long time ago. I feel happy for having found a place that will contribute an added value to my personal and professional development.
