scholarship was a huge
helping hand in my
quest to join WBS
“I took a career break to complete my Masters degree which was a risk for
me; I was also living in a particularly expensive area which meant I had to
plan my finances carefully. My scholarship took away some of that worry
and made me realise how much WBS valued my application, which made me
value my place with them in turn.”

Although I was sad to move away from my friends and peers upon
graduating, my Masters experience prepared me well for life after university.
Thanks to my personalised support and advice from the careers team, I was
delighted to land a management role at TikTok a week before graduating.
Aside from the invaluable education I received at WBS, my time here taught
me the value of life and how to be happy. For that, I am eternally grateful.”

(2020 – 2021)
Regional Project Manager for Europe and Israel, TikTok
I was forced to develop a mindset of learning how a theory

works and not just memorising how to apply it. At the time
it was challenging and I probably didn’t appreciate how
valuable that mindset would be. But it has set me apart
in my role at Barclays. I get to do this every day when I’m
analysing the prediction models used within the bank.”

WBS values curiosity, openness, restlessness and excellence. These

principles were proudly on show from professors, lecturers, support
staff and peers alike from the day I arrived. The CareersPlus team
were a pleasure to work with, and were pivotal in achieving my
current role. The Careers workshops, events and 1-2-1s built my
knowledge, skills and confidence, for which I am sincerely grateful.”
