Patricia-Ancuta is one of our Postgraduate Scholarship winners for the May 2020 intake, after submitting an entry she was chosen as one of two winners of a 20% tuition fee scholarship. We caught up with Patricia-Ancuta and this is what she had to say:
"To start with, I like challenging myself by getting out of my comfort zone and feeling that I add value to my existence every day. This made me determined to become a highly qualified professional and to develop a series of transferable executive skills, by applying to the Master’s in Business Administration – International at Anglia Ruskin University, which is designed as an all-inclusive programme. They provide the image of an extremely dynamic institution, strongly anchored in the needs of today's labour market.
In general, I like to test my abilities, and that's why I submitted my application for the Postgraduate Scholarship Scheme. The essay I submitted was my honest story and I am sure that really helped me to gain the scholarship. I revealed my determination and described my student life, years that have influenced and helped me to be the person I am today: much more confident in what the future will offer me. I come from a modest family, and the 20% scholarship means a lot. London is not a cheap city at all, and the scholarship will make it easier for me for a while.
I consider this postgraduate degree to be an amazing step towards my future career as a businesswoman and beyond. I am sure that the acquired knowledge and networks developed during it will help me to achieve a top management position one day. Although people who opt for an MBA often have a vast career behind them with prior key leadership positions, I want to lay a solid foundation at the beginning of the road, and fulfil these positions simultaneously".
