Mahmood, Executive Part-Time MBA 2003
Systems and Projects Manager at the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council (BMDC), Atif Mahmood, believes that the Bradford MBA delivers life-long benefits.
Atif, aged 37, has seen his career advance impressively since he completed his Executive Part-Time programme and his role now involves planning, identifying, developing, maintaining and supporting IT systems at BMDC.
"Within three months of gaining my MBA in July 2003, I was offered various management roles," Atif commented.
"The ability to develop my career the way I wanted in today's climate made the programme very attractive to me. If you want an experience that will truly benefit you throughout the rest of your life, the Bradford MBA has to be the natural choice. It is not only an educational platform, you also get to meet a superb diversity of people from all walks of life. Networking, communication and building relationships are a gift from the MBA that can not be quantified. Bradford graduates are able to tackle anything that life may throw at them with confidence.
"I have continued to keep in contact with the School of Management since my MBA and regularly attend lectures. I have also talked to new students at induction times into the Executive MBA programme and supported the alumni events by introducing guest speakers and attending. I continue to use the support services that are offered by the careers and alumni services and hope to continue to do so."
