Junnurain Subhan Shuchi - MSc International Marketing with Internship

Where are you from and which course did you choose to study? 

I decided to pursue a degree in International Marketing with an Internship because of my strong interest in understanding marketing concepts from a global business perspective. The course offers a well-structured curriculum with highly relevant modules that open various career opportunities. The content is comprehensive, covering topics such as strategic marketing, brand management, and consumer behaviour, while also incorporating activities focused on the personal development of students.

Tell me about how the course staff have supported you?

The course staff was extremely supportive, treating each student individually with a personalized approach. The constructive feedback and collaborative brainstorming sessions were invaluable in helping me gain a clearer understanding of the course assignments, which, in turn, provided me with greater clarity about my future goals.

What skills have you learnt or developed during your time at LSBU?

One of the key skills I developed during my time at LSBU was my people skills. As an introvert, in-person communication has always been a challenge for me. However, after more than two years in the course and actively participating in the designed activities, I now find myself much more comfortable stepping out of my comfort zone.

Have you done a work placement or any work experience?

I moved to London from Bangladesh, and as an international student from the other side of the world, gaining real-time work experience was crucial for me before entering the competitive job market in a completely different cultural environment. Enrolling in a course with an Internship proved to be extremely beneficial, giving me a competitive edge in the job market and helping me navigate through cultural differences. This one-year work placement opportunity provided me with valuable insights, allowing me to gain better clarity in planning my career goals.

Where do you see yourself in the future? What are your goals?

I am currently working as a Reservation Manager at a franchised hotel under the IHG brand. I enjoy being a part of the hospitality industry and aspire to work in the core commercial team of renowned hotel brands such as IHG, Hilton, or Marriott in the future.

What advice would you give to people thinking about studying at LSBU?

Absolutely go for it! LSBU provides all the tools and resources necessary to help you achieve and excel in your career goals. In addition to a wide range of courses with up-to-date materials, the university offers various employability programs and personal development opportunities, which are essential in today’s highly competitive job market.
