A Sheffield MBA: Cultural connections and academic excellence
The Free Press Journal|November 25, 2024
The journey from India to the UK has been nothing short of fascinating and filled with excitement and energy.
Sujathullah Panchi

Although this isn't my first time in the UK (I'd visited several times while working for companies in Digital Technology), coming here to pursue my MBA at the Sheffield University Management School has been a completely different experience. One of the first things that struck me was how much value people place on personal space and the way they respect it.

The UK is known as one of the top destinations for international students, but for me, there were several reasons why I chose it. First, the programs here go beyond advanced theoretical knowledge; they emphasise practical, globally transferable skills, which I believe opens doors not just in the UK but also back in India. Secondly, most programs are just one year long, which allows you to join the global workforce quicker. I was particularly drawn to the University of Sheffield for their MBA offering.

Now, I'm living in Sheffield. I've discovered that Sheffield is famous for its proximity to the Peak District, making it a haven for outdoor activities like climbing, mountain biking, and paddle-boarding. During my free time, I love exploring the city, engaging in conversations with people, and unwinding in the city's many beautiful parks.
