In this episode of The Business of Being a Postgrad, I’m joined by Anna Korol, an MSc Management (Consulting) student from Ukraine, who shares her perspective on postgraduate study.

Anna explores her passion for consulting and how she is bringing her professional experience into the classroom. She also shares why the Business Project offering stood out to her, and how the programme and international experiences offered at Durham are helping to shape her future career.

She also reflects on life as a member of Stephenson College and being part of the student community.

Tune in to hear Anna’s insights, practical tips, and her perspective on postgraduate life at Durham University Business School.

The perspectives shared are based on Anna’s personal experience and may not reflect every student’s journey.
