Having trained as a translator and interpreter, I wanted to give life to my dream of having my own company. I followed the traditional way of working for a person or organisation. However, I was determined to start something of my own. Since I didn’t have any background in business, I decided to study management. From that moment on, I saw myself as an entrepreneur, not an employee.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Finding a home in another country<\/strong><\/p>\n

Then the big question popped up in my head: \u2018Where should I study?\u2019 The hardest part was finding the correct place. I first thought about studying in my home country, but there were no universities that completely met my expectations. I guess that\u2019s when I considered studying abroad. The one thing I was sure of was that I wanted to have the feeling of doing the right thing. And it happened just like that!<\/p>\n

Why I chose Bournemouth University<\/strong><\/p>\n

After deciding to study in England, I searched universities on different websites. I had three universities in mind, but Bournemouth University was the best option for me. When reading the range of postgraduate degree courses<\/a>, I was fond of studying MSc Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> It\u2019s been four months since I started my classes, and studying leadership, accounting, and innovation has given me a broad insight into the way business is conducted and managed.<\/p>\n

\u2018You are probably at an early stage in your aspirations to perform management and entrepreneurial roles, so this is a wonderful time to have the opportunity to study and learn about ideas and practice, as they have developed, and as they are likely to evolve in the coming years,\u2019<\/i> <\/span>Dr Nasiru Taura, my Programme Leader, stated in an announcement posted a couple of days ago. I don’t know exactly what life has in store for me, but studying MSc Innovation Management and Entrepreneurship is showcasing my passion for developing my business.<\/p>\n

My favorite highlight of the class<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>One of the best highlights of my classes was a lecture with the CEO of a start-up. This activity provided my classmates and I with a nurturing discussion to have a more valuable learning experience. Listening to a serial entrepreneur was such a remarkable event. Actually, I learned more about business model innovation through this CEO\u2019s first-hand perspective. I appreciate that BU can invite entrepreneurs for sharing their successful experiences in real-time sessions with students.<\/p>\n

Leaving Peru meant saying goodbye to a home full of memories. However, coming to BU was the place where I could make my dreams come true. When I embarked on this adventure, I knew I wanted to do something I was eager to do A long time ago. I feel happy for having found a place that will contribute an added value to my personal and professional development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
