“I joined HSBC on the graduate scheme and worked for them for 20 years in Sheffield, USA, Brazil and Hong Kong. After such a long time in one organisation, I was unsure as to whether the skills I had learned and developed would be transferable to other industries. The MBA kept coming up in conversation and it seems like the correct next step in my career. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the University of Sheffield, located in my hometown, provided a Triple Crown accredited MBA course. The Sheffield MBA changed the way I think about myself, my future career and also the way I approach situations.”

“Today, I am proud to say I am a Sheffield MBA alumnus, not only because of my academic experience at the University but also because of my life at a vibrant and enjoyable city as Sheffield. I was always interested in studying abroad and having a multicultural experience, which required being prepared. I was willing to face new challenges and make the following steps towards my professional growth. I decided to apply for the MBA at Sheffield University Management School because of international elements that I found there, such as intercultural learning, strong academic programme and networking opportunities. Besides that, the worldwide prestige obtained by Sheffield regarding its Triple Crown accreditation as well as Russell group membership. If I were to look back, the decision to choose Sheffield was the best decision I made.”
