STUDENT STORIES Meet some of our inspirational global students – working towards
achieving their aspirations through their studies.
Tansy’s story
London, United Kingdom

Master of Business Administration (MBA) student
Senior marketing executive with entrepreneurial ambitions
Choosing to study my MBA with University of Essex Online was the best decision I have made.
Currently I work full time as a Senior Marketing Executive, however in the near future I hope to start
my own company. This was my main motivation for studying an MBA as the programme covers
modules required to set up your own organisation.
Studying my MBA online and part-time while still working has benefited my career, studies and
lifestyle.
I’ve valued the Director’s Workshops, which are delivered by industry experts who have lots of
knowledge and experience in specific industries. These have covered a wide range of topics and
given me a greater insight into different business areas I have not worked in yet. I know that one of
the most important factors for a start-up is having a stable network. Through attending Director’s
Workshops, seminars and Q&A sessions I have been able to grow my network and receive insights
from individuals all over the world, and in different industries which I would have struggled to achieve
without studying with Essex Online.
I’ve also appreciated being able to access a huge range of online resources, at any point throughout
my course, including eBooks, lecturecasts, seminar recordings and research papers. Taking
advantage of these online resources not only helps me to complete modules to a high standard but
also provide lots of information needed to start an organisation. For example, there are a range of
entrepreneurial resources and specific business area resources, such as online marketing books or
accounting papers to help with building my business idea!
“The MBA programme’s highly

flexible mode of study has
enabled me to learn wherever and
whenever it is convenient for my
lifestyle. I can still do everything

Helen’s story
Brighton, United Kingdom

Master of Public Health (MPH) student
Pharmacy technician studying the MPH to open up opportunities
I’m a pharmacy technician by background. A long, long time ago, I was doing art and design at
undergraduate level. But decided it wasn’t for me and kind of fell into pharmacy which I did for about 14
years. I got to the point where I had kind of progressed as far as I could with that – not with the career but “My main reason for

a full-time job. So it has been really up and down professionally for me during the pandemic, as a
healthcare worker as well at the coalface of it. So life has been a little bit hectic but I’m sure it has
been for everyone.
Currently I’m working in training and development for a company who create training packages for
medicine administration for carers and nurses in care homes. It has been a different avenue of work
for me, and I think a lot of what I’m doing now on my degree is helping me as well. I did this degree
to open up options, gain extra knowledge and to learn something. Part of the reason I’m so enthused
about it is because I really enjoy learning new things. But in terms of what I’ll do with it in the future,
who knows? I could continue down the pharmacy route. I could go down a public health route. Or
ideally, I could find a way to combine the two, but we shall see – watch this space.
My advice for anyone unsure about studying public health online: go for it. If it’s something that
interests you – that’s the main thing. If you feel like you should do it, maybe come back when you can
be more focused on it. Because the one thing I would say is there’s a lot of work, and you have to
really enjoy doing it to make it work. But beyond that, I really mean just go for it. Everybody at Essex
Online are so supportive: the tutors and Student Support team, if you need anything from them, they
are incredible. They’ll always back you up if you’re unwell or anything. So, you’ve always got the
support there; you’re never on your own.

Adolfo’s story
Xiamen, China
PG Dip Education student
Educator planning to undertake a Masters for career progression
Like many people from my country, Chile, I was unhappy with my job and lifestyle, so I decided to
move to another place. Some friends told me that teaching English in Asia was a very well-paid
position – and I would have the opportunity to explore exotic and beautiful locations. At that moment,
almost ten years ago, the only requirement to teach was to be a foreigner and speak English. So
without thinking that much, I packed my bag and bought a plane ticket to the People’s Republic of
China, with the plan to look for a job I had zero experience in, not knowing the Mandarin language or
even how to stay in the country after my tourist visa expired!
Long story short, I managed to get hired by a great school, where I had a couple of years working
and earning a salary three times better than I would back in my home country. I fell in love with the
culture, and I finally found out that my real vocation was teaching. Everything was great, but then
China introduced new requirements for working visa applications, in response to the increased arrival
of unqualified teachers looking for a job.
So, I started to do some simple training such as TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and
CMS Guide for preschool (Chinese Montessori Society). But after a while, I realised that if I wanted
to advance in my career, the only way I could achieve this would be to invest more time in my
education. However, I needed a course that wouldn’t affect my work and family life.
I applied for the Postgraduate Certificate through the work experience entry route, which requires
at least two years of demonstrable practice at an education institution. After a couple of weeks and
number of emails exchanged, my application was accepted, and I was enrolled on the programme.
I felt remarkably happy, especially after discovering that many of my classmates were in the same
situation as me: living and teaching abroad in Asia and Europe.
My experience with Essex Online has been excellent. The Student Advisers and tutors are very
supportive, and though the modules are challenging they are still doable. I’m now studying the
Postgraduate Diploma and planning to progress my studies to achieve the Master of Education,
which is one of the requirements to apply to be a Director or Vice-Principal at an international school.
“I decided online studies

Natalie’s story
Nottingham, United Kingdom

MSc Criminology and Criminal Psychology student
From teenage mum to Masters student
There’s a stereotype attached to teenage pregnancy: girl gets pregnant at school and claims benefits
forever – the end. That’s how society wants us to believe that is how teenage mums are. And that’s
not my story and it’s probably not the story for most others; however, society feeds us this idea that if
you become a teenage mum, then it’s the end of your life, and you will never amount to anything.
Going through school, my reports all said the same thing: ‘Natalie is a very capable student. She
could be achieving the highest grades. However, she won’t stop disrupting people; she won’t
stop talking; she doesn’t do the work’. So you know, that was me and I didn’t care. And when I
got pregnant in the summer in-between Year 10 and 11, I doubt that there was anyone who was
surprised. I could have got cracking GCSEs, but I didn’t and instead messed about. I really didn’t
make the most of my potential even though I was very bright.
In September 2008, I started an access course, and I still didn’t know what I wanted to do in the
future. While studying the course, I toyed with studying midwifery, or a probation officer which was
something I thought I really wanted to do at the time; and that was mostly because I had a youth
offending worker when I was getting into troubles as a teenager – so that was the inspiration behind
that. But it turned out, you have to be employed as a probation officer in order to enrol on the course. 1
Well, I was eighteen years old, and I didn’t have any work experience or the skills that would have
got me employed and therefore on the course.
I applied to study social work at a university near where I lived at the time, and I was offered a place.
During my final year at university, I had a placement with a fostering agency which I loved. I even
applied for a job after university with this agency, but I didn’t get it which really defeated me.
When I was back in hospital having my fourth child, I had the idea of going back to university again but I
wasn’t sure how I’d do it. I then got an email in my inbox from Essex Online and discovered it offers 100%
online Masters degrees. So I thought sod it – I’m going to apply!
I decided to apply for criminology and criminal psychology because becoming a probation officer was
still at the back of my mind. And I thought, I could use my social work degree to get onto the Masters
programme to enable me to move into a different career and it could help me improve my employability.
Though I did this degree to use it to get another job, since being on the course I have started a new
role within victim services. It’s something that I was probably already qualified to do, but I would have
never had the confidence to go ahead and apply for that – and I absolutely love it.
I feel a bit preachy saying this, but with all the mess-ups I had, if I can overcome all of those things
– having babies interrupting my learning – anyone can do anything. The point is, you know I’m
thirty-one years old and I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. You don’t have to be
imprisoned by one line of work. If you decide at school that you want to be a teacher – that’s fine, be
a teacher but it doesn’t mean you then can’t go on to do something else. There’s no reason why you 2 3
can’t access more training in your thirties, forties or fifties. Whatever it is you want to do, there are
really no limits, and you should go for it.
