European Master in Management graduate Sabeen Armani tells us how she set up her own international social media agency BeSocial360 and how the programme played an important role in her career to date.
Tell us about your experience of the programme. What were the highlights for you?
The European Master in Management was my top choice when applying to business schools and I chose the programme for its unique nature. I was very impressed by the quality of education and the very knowledgeable and approachable professors and staff. There were numerous highlights during my two years as a student. I had the chance to learn from different European perspectives, as well as meet, network with, and forge friendships with fellow students, professors and staff from different universities who have all positively impacted my personal and professional life in their respective ways. I also consider my specialisation year to be a major highlight of my journey, as it was my experience there that allowed me to take a significant step into entrepreneurship.
How do you think the European Master in Management has had an impact on your career?
The programme allowed me to acquire the knowledge and experience necessary to flourish in an international environment, while honing key professional skills necessary to be competitive in the business world. The programme also allowed me to develop relationships with and network with people from around the world. I’ve learned something from every single person I’ve interacted with as a student of the European Master in Management. The experience, knowledge and key management and interpersonal skills I gained from the programme have proved to be very valuable to my professional life, as I am now able to easily manage my entrepreneurial ventures and operate them internationally at age 25.
For you, what were the biggest learnings from the programme?
I gained a solid international outlook and extensive knowledge on a variety of fundamental topics, ranging from marketing management to accounting to organisational behavior. I was able to learn about the different approaches to management by different cultures in addition to the most modern practices and trends in the business world, which have proved to be very valuable in my professional career today. The programme showed me that in the business world, nothing is impossible as long as you think outside of the box.
