Student review [#36013]
for International Management
at University of Southampton
Southampton, The United Kingdom
My opinion of the University of Southampton is very positive.
What I like the most is the inclusive environment and various opportunities for students. When I first came to the campus, I missed the society “bunfight”. Hence, I did not have a chance to join any of them. I reckon that as a regret of my study there. However, after working as a peer advisor for the business school, I got a chance to see how well-organised the student union is. The university provides Loads of societies, which can fit a wide range of interests from the students’ side. I promoted as many events as possible to the incoming student to offset my regrets. Meanwhile, I had an opportunity to work with the faculty and understand how hard the school is trying to utilise their resources to give students a better studying experience by promoting all of the support services provided by the university.
However, sometimes the way of promoting and championing is not as efficient as it should be. For instance, as mentioned, I missed the society showcase, as it only happened once a year. Others who’d like to join the society need to wait for another year or just miss their chances.
Nevertheless, I enjoyed my stay at the University of Southampton. As it is very international, there are students from all over the world. Therefore, it brought me an opportunity to see and embrace the difference in culture. Meanwhile, studying at the University of Southampton gave me a chance to make many good friends. The friendship that we obtained continued even after my graduation, which cannot be measured in monetary value.
In terms of the courses, a diverse list of programmes is provided. I studied International Management for my master’s. The programme is well-designed and enjoyable. The topics introduced by the lectures are very up-to-date, with a reasonable amount of assignments. At first, it was challenging. However, I gained loads of capabilities after studying at the UoS. For instance, critical thinking, time management, teamwork, and presentation skills etc., which are highly valued by employers in the job market.
Therefore, I will recommend the University of Southampton to my friends and students who are applying for Universities.
