Why did you choose to study online at Heriot-Watt University?

For the simplicity of studying at my own pace, including being able to use the local university library in Oslo to sit and study and the online revision sessions to prepare for the exams.

Overall, how has your experience been with Heriot-Watt?

My experience with Heriot-Watt has been absolutely perfect. The online programme is easy to follow, and professors reply to questions within hours or days.

What was your favourite part of the MBA?

The revision sessions with Mr Sean Fouche were the favourite part of my programme. His way of teaching and answering questions helped me prepare for the exams better than I could have on my own.

How has your programme impacted your personal life so far?

It has affected my personal life majorly. I feel more knowledgeable about working in a corporate environment. Besides that, my way of thinking has changed overall, and I am calmer and more confident.

What was your favourite course and why?

My favourite course was Developing and Executing Strategy. The professor teaching and Mr. Fouche with his revision classes taught the programme with much passion and enthusiasm. I learned most from this programme about corporate management and culture. It made my interest in change management grow to the point where I am discovering more of it now in my career and position.
