BA (Hons) Business and Management

BA (Hons) Business and Management student Quynh Nguyen is on her way to becoming a successful businesswoman. She tells us about how her studies are preparing her for her future.

I have a dream of becoming a successful businesswoman. That’s why I’m studying at the University of Sunderland in London, to see that passion fulfilled.

“I have a dream of becoming a successful businesswoman. That’s why I’m studying at the University of Sunderland in London, to see that passion fulfilled.

Before I came here, I was studying at the University of Language and International Study in my country of Vietnam.

It was there that I started growing this interest in business. I took on a part-time job and discovered a love for the world of work. Finally, I’d found my dream.

That’s when I made a decision that would change my life forever – I wanted to study business.

I was determined to do my degree in the UK because of the country’s well-known reputation for a leading education system.

I’m particularly proud that I chose the University of Sunderland in London for the course.

It’s giving me a solid foundation for future success in the fast-moving and powerful world of work.

I’m learning how a business works and how to run it well.

Most of all, I just feel happy with the enthusiastic support of the staff, especially the Student Engagement team who helped me when I faced visa issues.

I’ll always feel grateful to them because it meant I could keep going on my student journey.

It’s a little difficult choosing my favourite modules because all of them have given me knowledge of different parts of business.

I like how each lecture has its own workshop to help the students talk about what we’ve learned in the class and put it into a real-world context.

With everything I’m learning, it won’t be hard for me to go after my goals.

Although COVID-19 has meant I haven’t been able to go to face-to-face classes or meet my friends, it was a bit of a learning experience.

I’ve developed my IT skills a lot, which has meant my studies have benefited.

The University has really done its best to support us students over this difficult time.”
