I always wanted to study in the UK, and with the support of an agent here in Myanmar and from speaking to other students I made the decision to join UWE Bristol. I chose the Business Management top-up degree, as I had already completed two years in a different discipline in the UK, but after some reflection chose to focus on building my knowledge and skills in the area of Business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I really enjoyed the practical element of the course, in particular the airline simulation where we had to work in small groups and run a business. It was brilliant, and I felt like I was running a real\u00a0firm. It was a great experience that allowed me to look into the different operational aspects such as marketing\u00a0and\u00a0finance\u00a0(profit, loss etc). Each week we would come together and reflect on how we could improve. There was friendly competition\u00a0amongst the different groups in the class which\u00a0encouraged us to make\u00a0our\u00a0business the most successful.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe practical nature of the top-up gave me the confidence to set up my own business.\u00a0And\u00a0I\u2019m currently running an Education Consultancy \u2013 supporting students from Myanmar to come and study in the UK\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The future is bright <\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
I had always thought about setting-up my own business, and on my return to Myanmar I took the time to think through what I loved and what I know and started to develop some business ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I created Unigo Education Consultancy as a way to help the younger generation realise their potential and strive to study a degree overseas and greatly increase their career prospects. It\u2019s a great way for me to share my experiences of studying in the UK and to help them navigate their way through the education system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStudying on the top-up degree was a great experience as I got to work alongside students and academics from all around the world.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
