Student Story: My Experience at Brunel University, London

Coming to the UK and studying at Brunel University was the most wonderful decision I have ever made in my life. From the very first day I felt it was an overwhelmingly friendly environment. The staff and the students are so friendly that you never feel homesick. You can make friends from all over the world and learn about their culture.

I did a lot of research before selecting the Master’s course in Business Systems Integration (with SAP technology) at Brunel. I spoke with former students and was constantly in touch with the staff in the Department of Information Systems and Computing to find out more information about the course. I got good feedback from both the staff and previous students, which helped me a lot in making my decision to pursue my Master’s at Brunel.

It was great to get the opportunity to work on one of the world’s most sophisticated software programs – SAP.  I feel that all the eight modules, the dissertation and the TERP 10 certification (studied as part of the course) gives a good taste of business life and prepares students for the actual professional working environment. Working on group projects with other students also develops good team-working skills for the workplace.  Brunel’s award-winning Job Shop helped me prepare for both part time and full time jobs – both in the job search itself and helping me put together a good CV.

The Master’s programme also taught me to manage my time effectively. In addition to my studies, I play cricket, go to gym and work part-time.

Finally, I would say Brunel is a place where you can learn a lot, while having fun at the same time.
