Business School

Ali Alriyahi,
Jordan
Ambitions to expand his personal business motivated Ali Alriyahi to study LSBF’s online Global MBA. The business owner, who earned his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, gained skills in leadership and project management which he could apply directly to his career as an entrepreneur: “If you’re a business owner and you want to go into business, you should go through the business from A to Z. So, that’s basically what I did, and that’s what the programme gave me.” Ali enjoyed the flexibility that online study allows, which makes it possible for students to earn their degree while keeping their job and maintaining their personal lives: “A lot of people wish that they had a master’s degree, but they don’t because they have jobs and they have responsibilities that they need to fulfil. If you have a mix of both, you can work and study at the same time. That’s the key.” For students just starting their online course, Ali suggests staying open and communicating with peers and tutors to stay motivated: “I know at the beginning it’s a bit scary studying on a platform – you don’t see anyone, so you are uncertain. Just follow your gut and just do it. Stay connected and network, network, network, because networking is the key.”
