We invite our students to ask incisive questions, to challenge their assumptions, and to search for solutions to real-world challenges. You will be taught by internationally renowned experts who will not only offer you intriguing insights into various fields of business and management, but who will also give you a rich, robust knowledge of your subject that will be highly beneficial in your future career. Our undergraduate programmes are designed to enable you to develop a specialist focus in areas such as marketing, accounting, finance, human resources or international business, while at the same time building a broader understanding of management and business.

14 Meet our alumni Katarina Stefansson from Sweden and Barbara Nemethova from Slovakia are two of our alumni. They completed the Business Management BSc in 2015, and both went on to postgraduate study in London. We asked them to tell you about their time as SBM students, and what impact that had on their personal and career development. Katarina: Throughout my three years at QMUL, I had a very interesting development process. When I started here I felt really lost, both academically and personally, because it was my first year in London. I had no clue how to write essays and I was really shy when it came to talking to professors. I didn t use any of the help that was offered to me. In my second year everything started falling into place, and I became more comfortable with my professors, my peers, and the city as well. Finally, in my third year, it felt like I had more time; I was more organised and I had more of a structure. I learnt to be strategic about my study, and about planning my day and the time I spent on various tasks. Katarina: My favourite module was my dissertation. Barbara: Mine too! It was great because it helps you to look at a holistic picture rather than just one subject in particular. The biggest support for me was my supervisor, who would meet me every week and guide me through my thinking; he would help me structure my thoughts, The inter-disciplinary nature of the course enabled me to develop critical thinking and analytical skills. This made me view the world differently and also fuelled my interests in politics, sociology and philosophy Prinz Sindac Analyst at RBS (Markets and International Banking) and School of Business and Management Alumnus 2013 encourage me to read more challenging academic articles, and provide support at every stage. Katarina: Our supervisors were really good. It just felt like they were always there, always available. We also got great support from other academics in the school. Everyone showed great interest in our work, and they were very supportive. Barbara: I think the most interesting modules for me were always the more research-focused ones, and that has to do with the amazing academics and the way they taught us. My time at QMUL has definitely helped me identify what I would like to do in the future. Katarina: The skills and knowledge I acquired at QMUL were invaluable. In my final year I realised that all of the modules I had studied were actually interconnected. For example, when I was writing my dissertation I could apply theories and principles from every single module. 14

15 Katarina Stefansson Business Management BSc 2015 Barbara: The advice I would give new students would be to challenge yourself because this helps you to broaden your horizons and your thinking, and this is what you are supposed to do at university try out different things and decide what you want to do next. The second thing is go to the Peer Assisted Study Support (PASS). I was a PASS mentor myself, and I think that you can t get the advice you get there anywhere else, because the mentors are students who went through the same thing you are about to experience and the advice they give is very helpful. Katarina: I would advise new students to take the opportunities and the help you get at QMUL. In my first year I was shy, and I didn t really go to the academics during their office hours. This changed in my third year. I participated in a workshop designed to improve my presentation skills, and I made sure I spoke to all of my module supervisors before handing in coursework. This really helped to improve my results. Barbara Nemethova Business Management BSc 2015 Barbara: I definitely feel that having come from QMUL, I think differently from others on my current course.the programmes at QMUL are very interdisciplinary, and as a result I am able to approach things from a social or political perspective. I don t just ask: How does this make profit for us?, I ask: How can we do something more with this? How can we make it more sustainable, and how can we take it to another level? I have recently started going to networking events and meeting people from industry, and I have always felt that I had both the confidence and knowledge to contribute to the conversation, no matter the topic. I think that what we had during our time at QMUL, aside from the chance to study so many subjects, were professors who didn t just teach us theory, but also how to think about theory. And that, I think, differentiates us as QMUL students. 15

16 We are international QMUL s Mile End campus is ideally located in one of the most diverse and international cities in the world. Our staff and students come from over 155 different countries. Whichever programme you choose, a degree from QMUL will equip you with the skills, insight and exposure to the international world of business, so that you are able to succeed in your future career. You will study with professors and students from a range of international backgrounds, and you will have an opportunity to build on that diversity in stimulating discussions both in, and outside, the classroom. Supporting our international students We offer our international students specific advice on money, immigration and other practical aspects of coming to live and study in the UK: English language support: we provide a number of language programmes to help you improve your language proficiency throughout your studies.

We also host a programme of social events for international students throughout the year. International Week: our Students Union runs this series of events to celebrate the world cultures of the people who make up the QMUL community. 16

17 At first I thought that changing country, friends, style of education and environment around could have been very hard for me, but first of all it is thanks to Queen Mary and the School of Business and Management that I enjoy my time in London. Not only I have gained knowledge and valuable skills, but also I got a lot of friends, from various countries and I know that I am not alone in my journey, everybody is near to help. Queen Mary gives so many opportunities to us, that even I still have to discover and try more. Mariam Hakobyan, Marketing and Management BSc

18 Study abroad opportunities If studying and living in a different country is something you are interested in, then a semester abroad in one of our many world-leading partner universities might be for you. Studying like this will mean that you join an international community of scholars and students, giving you the chance to meet people from all over the world. During your time at QMUL, you will be able to study abroad through one of our exchange programmes. As an SBM student, you can partake in a study abroad experience under either the Erasmus+ Programme or the International Exchange Programme at QMUL, as well as having the option to apply for our summer school opportunities. Depending on your degree scheme, you can spend a semester or full year studying at one of our prestigious partner institutions. Studying abroad is an experience that will stay with you for life. Your intercultural and language skills will improve, your interpersonal skills and confidence will grow, and you will develop other attributes that are greatly valued by employers.

If you take part in the International Exchange Programme or Erasmus+, you will not pay tuition fees to your overseas institution, although you will continue to pay tuition fees to QMUL. You will be responsible for paying your own accommodation, travel and living costs. 18

19 The International Exchange Programme can broaden your horizons. It immerses you in a totally new environment, and the cultural shock is such an interesting part of the experience. Hong Kong is a dynamic city, and I really wanted to take this opportunity to explore it. I joined the Buddy programme offered by the University of Hong Kong, which really allowed me to explore the local culture and meet people from very different backgrounds Elaine Li spent a semester in the University of Hong Kong (2015/16). 19

As a business student, this really appeals to me as it means more opportunities to find internships and work experience Azmeena Azim, Business Management BSc 2017 I fell in love with Queen Mary from my very first campus tour before becoming a student here. It ticked all the boxes for me being in London, the business capital of the UK, whilst also offering a friendly communitybased campus life. That, for me, is the perfect setting for a business management student to thrive Charlie Pearson Business Management BSc

40 London, our location and accommodation While the West End might be the geographical heart of London, if you want to find the real soul of the capital, you will have to head east. The East End has a rich history, cultural scene and vibrant sense of community, which we are lucky to be able to call home. One of the most rapidly changing parts of the city, it combines the best of old and new. Location, location, location As any Londoner will tell you, the most important thing about living in the capital is location. We are close to Shoreditch and Brick Lane, as well as the Tech City technology cluster and the financial centres of Canary Wharf and the City. We are also only one stop away from the world-class sports facilities of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, and only 15 minutes away from Oxford Circus on the Tube. The facilities at QMUL are fantastic. The library and the Hive make group projects easier to manage, and if you want a more quiet area you can book your own room in the library or take a free room in the Bancroft Building. The facilities make studying easier. During exam season, the Students Union was also very helpful. As well as quiet rooms that were great for studying, they set up a bunny and puppy room to help students relax and take a break from all the chaos.
