What position do you hold at Imperial College? What has been your career path so far?

I am the Recruitment and Marketing Coordinator. I previously worked in recruitment in the private sector, then came to Imperial College to work first in the Registry and then in the Business School.

Did YOU study abroad? If so, where did you go and what inspired you to go?!

I studied in Rennes and Salamanca, as my degree was French and Hispanic Studies. It was a compulsory part of our third year, but that was partly why I chose to study languages. Studying with students from other universities, hearing different perspectives on subjects that I may not have considered before, and having the chance to improve my language skills, seemed like an opportunity that was too good to miss.

What does the future hold for Imperial - any new programs to share?

Imperial College Business School continues to launch great new research-led programmes - we are excited to have just launched our Strategic Marketing Summer School to build on the success of our Strategic Marketing MSc. We have also just launched our MSc Data Science & Management which gives students from a computer science background the awareness and skills to excel in the commercial world.

What about the future of the industry? How do you think study abroad and international education will change over the next 10 years?

Study abroad will grow in importance as employers look more and more at the international experiences of job applicants. There are lots of study abroad courses on offer, so applicants will also increasingly look for reputable programmes at top schools like ours which deliver on academic rigor as well as social experiences.

Which study abroad destination is most underrated? Conversely, which is most overrated?

Taking London out of the equation as clearly the best study abroad destination (!), I would say Asia in general is underrated, perhaps because people are worried about culture shock and language difficulties. It is a hugely important area for business, and I believe it will continue to grow in importance. The more we can understand the culture (and the language!), the better we can communicate. The most overrated for me would be the US. This is very subjective, but my reasons for studying abroad mainly revolve around the language aspect and getting to know a different culture. There just aren’t enough differences between us to attract me.
