Varun Dhawan
BA (Hons) Business
Year Three
I enjoyed the mixing of modules, each one
tackles a different global issue, this has given
me a wider prespective on the business world.
I have learned that in order to manage a
successful business, close attention must be
paid to both the internal and external
environment.
My time at Nottingham Business School has
definitely influenced the path I wish to
choose; before I came to university I was

Year Three
I have enjoyed the university experience
greatly, I have learned the value of time
management and the importance of making
sure I'm well prepared.
The flexibility of the Business Management
programme is something that really suits me, it
feels good to know that I can specialise and
that the choices I made at the start of the
course aren't completely set in stone."
My plans for the future involve joining the
Bhadana Group, my family business, hopefully
Ill be able to manage one of the many
different sectors which range from aviation, to
mining to real estate.
Placement Profile
Lucy Woodhouse
BA (Hons) Business Management and
Marketing
Placement Employer: IBM
Placement job title: Marketing Co-ordinator
The course really appealed to me because I
could spend a year in industry and I was keen
to get hands on work experience. Also, the fact
that you can specialise in a route of your
choice was very appealing.
Gaining a placement at IBM has been my best
achievement so far. This wouldnt have been
possible if the university staff had not arranged
for various workshops and events with the
many companies which I am grateful for.
If youre not sure which area of Business you
want to specialise in then this is the right course
for you as I originally wanted to do purely HRM
and studying all areas in the first year made me
realise that Marketing is the subject for me.

A graduates story...
Louise Lawrence
BA (Hons) Business Economics
Graduated 2004
I thoroughly
enjoyed my
time at NTU. I
met some
amazing people
during my three
years there and
was taught by
some really
interesting
lecturers who
are passionate
about their
subject. Rather
than being lectured at, they knew how to
engage you and, for me personally, that
made things really come to life.
I now work as a Bid Manager for a London
based Management Consultancy firm.
I learned so much at university and am
actually surprised how much of it has
relevance to my current career.
I think one of my biggest achievements
was when I was sent to South Africa last
summer with a small team of people to do
some recruitment for our London office.
I was responsible for making sure the whole
thing ran as smoothly as possible. It was a
pretty intense three days but was a huge
success.
