My USW experience has been all about growth. I learned about digital marketing—a skill I haven't been good at before coming to USW.
Choosing USW for professional growth
As an accomplished marketing professional from Nigeria, I decided to enhance my career through a degree in marketing management. In researching for a school, I was looking for one that had its marketing degree accredited by the international marketing body, CIM. That way, I graduate with a degree and possibly obtain the certification of this body in the process. Voila, I found it in University of South Wales. I applied, got an admission, moved to the UK, and the rest has become history.
My USW experience has been all about growth. I learned about digital marketing—a skill I haven't been good at before coming to USW—and also discovered how to make some delicious delicacies of Welsh origin. I love to cook.
Find your coursePractical skills and career confidence
My course enabled me to work with my former employer, applying the knowledge gained at USW in a familiar work setting. My ability to have impacted them with the knowledge learnt so far has been rewarding. During this period, I learned to use Canva, a creative design software that allows you to create a wide range of advertorial materials. As a marketer, being able to bring your initiative alive through designs made by you is quite a fulfilling experience.
As I prepare to reintegrate into the marketing industry, the course has been doing well in prepping me for that. I have learnt presentation skills and it's a plus to me. My advice to potential students is straightforward: If you want to be fully grounded in marketing and hope to have it as a profession in the near future, getting a degree in marketing would set you well for life in this field.
