Webster Graduate School London

Jenna Smith, MBA 2007
Having completed my undergraduate degree at a University of 25,000 students, I was looking for a smaller, more intimate, campus to complete my MBA. Not only was Webster Graduate School a perfect fit size-wise, as it provides a family/community feeling, but the campus also offers a professional program, which was important to me. Webster’s faculty members are out in the “real world” practising what they teach; they are not solely academics with their heads stuck in their research with little to no idea of the challenges managers and employees are facing in everyday life.

Beyond the size and program-style, Webster-London is able to offer something very few Universities around the world can – a true international learning experience. With five to ten nationalities represented in any given classroom, your eyes are opened to the differences, as well as similarities, in business functions across the world. Rather than reading the ins and outs of how a country’s culture affects business practices, Webster students are able to bring such experiences to life by sharing stories and experiences of their home country.

I feel Webster has given me not only the skills and knowledge to further my career, but more importantly the invaluable exposure and experience of working with students of different nationalities and cultures. Throughout my time at Webster-London I have become part of something very special – a close-knit international community with friends for life scattered across the globe.
