Student profile

Vishal Shah, MBA Business Administration

Why Bath?

Mainly because of the reputation and ranking of the University; but also, because the School of Management at the University of Bath has well renowned faculty members. Further I believed that such a highly recognised University would be good value for money.

Why the Bath MBA?

After working in the IT sector for the past 5 years, I had reached a plateau and felt the need for broader skills in various aspects of the business. I believed that MBA would provide me the right platform to enhance and broaden my knowledge.

What's best about Bath?

The Bath MBA is a highly rewarding and enriching experience. The course is intensive and very well structured. The support staff and the faculty members are very supportive. The best thing about studying at Bath was the opportunity to interact with students from diverse backgrounds (and countries). It made the lectures really interesting. And as far as quality of living is concerned, the city of Bath is beautiful and I enjoyed the company of friends.

What are your plans for the future?

I would like to move in General Management role. The course was obviously very rewarding. But the dissertation project has really opened up opportunities for me to work in my desired role.

What were your greatest worries when you first came to Bath?

Studying in UK was a new experience and I was not really familiar with the way the written assignments were to be done. It took me some time to understand the process. But now I would definitely recommend the University.
