Raman studied BA (Hons) Business & Management and is now studying a Masters in Business Administration (MBA)

"I first heard about Doncaster College at British Council in New Delhi (India) and I was convinced that Doncaster Business School is the best place to study for me because I could get a University of Hull business degree, there is a relatively low cost of living in Doncaster and Doncaster is close to big cities like Leeds and Sheffield.

"When I arrived at Doncaster in 2003, I was taken aback by the Business School’s serene location and I believe it helped me remain focused on my studies. Doncaster gave me the perfect opportunity to make the most of both worlds i.e. focusing on studies and enjoying student life while keeping costs to a minimum.   

"In January this year I graduated with a 2:1 BA (Hons) Business & Marketing degree which has been possible due to the support I received from the academic staff. After graduating from the Business School I was faced with a dilemma I knew was inevitable - that being: no experience/no job - no job/no experience - and at the same time I was keen to get MBA qualification as well. I believe I am very fortunate to have studied at Doncaster Business School as I was given the opportunity to get work experience and study simultaneously.

"I am currently studying for MBA and at the same time working on strategic marketing for the Business School which involves marketing research, data classification, analysis, presentation and assisting with marketing communication activities. This work experience opportunity has landed me a part time job as a marketing research assistant for a dot-com company based in Sheffield.

"My student life has been so great at Doncaster College that I couldn’t have asked for more but the transaction from student life to working life is the one that has been most fulfilling."
