Alumni profile
Manoj
Kumar, Full-Time MBA
Gaining a Bradford MBA allowed Manoj Kumar, aged 36, to join a reputable European engineering consulting company.
Manoj is responsible for expanding the firm's operations in the Middle East, where he is presently based, and for winning new engineering contracts.
"I believe my role became possible because of my MBA from a UK university which is well regarded among EU companies," Manoj commented.
"I decided to do an MBA because I felt the need to have a professional marketing degree to give me the confidence to handle marketing challenges further on in my career.
"I analysed various universities in the UK for doing my marketing degree and, though I was fortunate enough to gain admission to a few other UK universities, I decided to join Bradford due to the well-structured curriculum - especially suited for marketing - as well as the well qualified and experienced faculty, the reasonable fees, plus the city itself which is cross-cultural and comparatively cheap.
"I gained an exposure to an international level of thinking when it comes to applying marketing tools in the corporate world, made a lot of good friends from across the globe and learned about new cultures and social dynamics.
"Subsequently, the MBA made me think outside the box when it comes to teamwork and it helped me improve my presentation and communication skills.
"I can say that Bradford is a good place to gain quality knowledge at a reasonable price. Potential students would definitely enjoy the local culture and cuisine, especially if they are from South Asia."
