What's it like to study at Keele Business School?
I think it’s really valuable and unique to be at a university that is so well connected with local businesses. I remember coming into lectures and seeing all of the offices of local businesses around KBS and it definitely made entering the world of work feel a lot more accessible and a lot more fluid. It didn’t feel like such a jump from being a student then being an employee. The biggest thing I would say that I took from Keele, is the people that I’d met throughout my journey, the level of support I’ve received from people and the cheering on that I’ve had from people and the belief that people have had in me.
