(prHWY.com) September 5, 2012 - Bradford, AZ -- Gary, aged 42, who studied full-time for his MBA in the UK, is HR Director for Amgen UK and Ireland which is the sales and marketing affiliate for the leading global biotech Amgen.
"I decided to do the MBA in the UK for career opportunity enhancement and to develop commercial understanding of how business operates. Bradford was top choice for its location, ranking, facilities, teaching, value for money, international content, and the chance to study abroad. I really liked the Nimbus study in Utrecht - students should try studying abroad as an experience.
"The programme gave me self-confidence, self-actualisation by achieving my goals, very good career enhancement and some good contacts and friends.
"I gained a much better job immediately on completion of the MBA in the UK and this has subsequently prepared me for my current role - I guess my career aspirations jumped forward about five years.
"After completing my MBA I joined the Hay Group as a Management Consultant I was promoted twice and headed up business development for the UK health sector practice. I achieved entry the Sunday Times Top 100 Best Company status within 12 months of joining Amgen."

It involves conducting an original and detailed investigation of a specific business management problem, written in a 15,000-word dissertation. If you are sponsored by your employer, you would usually undertake a management project that relates to your workplace. Otherwise, you may choose to use the project to deepen your knowledge of a different sector or organisation, or as a stepping stone to your next job.
We provide plenty of support and guidance to help you to make your choice of topic and during the project itself. Many organisations come to us with company-based projects.
