Chriszelle Borja, a 2011 Filipino graduate from LSBF's MSc in Marketing, found that, as a foreign student, studying in London gave her the edge in becoming a Senior Marketing Executive at global corporation Nike. She is now well on her to goal of running her own company in 10 year's time. LSBF granted Chriszelle a diversity scholarship, helping her to develop her previous professional experience in business intelligence, by exposing her to the fast-paced, multicultural environment of London. Studying in London has enhanced her future career options, allowing her to experience first-hand how different cultures and markets interact. “People should come to London because the academic standards are very high. London is a global centre for business and economics, and studying there is an international badge. As a student at LSBF, I was able to benefit from a first-class higher education, acquainting myself with the latest tools and qualifications. All the lecturers are highly respected in their fields - their expertise has ensured that I am fully prepared for future business roles.” As an international student, studying in London has given me a competitive edge on the international job scene. Studying at LSBF has made me a more rounded worker, able to combine my practical experience with academic knowledge. What's your advice for new students?
