Student Profile

Ellie Higgins

Graduated in 2021

I chose to study at Durham Business School due to it being internationally accredited, one of the world’s most prestigious universities and due to the expectational teaching that it has on offer. I felt that it would offer me a greater opportunity to develop practical and analytical skills amongst other people that had a love for study. I felt studying a masters would give me a competitive edge amongst others applying for graduate jobs. The university has amazing facilities and remarkable teachers in their field. A particular highlight is the vast number of opportunities you receive to listen to guest speakers from individuals that are leaders in their field. I have successfully obtained a graduate job in London, commencing in September 2021 within the commercial department of Berkeley Group, where I hope to have a long and successful career.
