Name: Aya Abdul Salam Blanco
Country of origin: British
Program of study: MSM (Masters of Strategic Marketing)
I have chosen to study at UOWD, on the basis of its excellent academic reputation, its highly qualified staff, and the friendly atmosphere. A lot of my friends from my bachelor degree have also chosen UOWD for their higher education, so I felt it is being seen by a lot of graduates as the best choice for their master’s degree. The location being in Dubai near my home made it easier for me especially with my busy schedule of working and studying at the same time.
I love the field of Marketing and I think if I will continue my studies and do other certificates it will also be in a marketing specialization. Other than my passion toward marketing, a strategic marketing degree is highly desired by big well establish companies that have large marketing departments. Therefore, requiring more in depth academic knowledge in the marketing field will open for me many marketing professions where I can excel and accelerate my career with a good salary. My bachelor degree was in Marketing and Management information systems, and I though it will be more interesting for me to go deep in the strategic marketing field.
Yes defiantly. I think a successful combination of academics and practical experience is the best for a person to become fully successful at his/her career. I believe my master degree is widening my horizon and giving me excellent academic concepts and theories that can be used practically in my job. The company I work for, as well most of the companies in the region offers good promises for workers who advance in their studies while being employed at the company. Therefore, my master degree is like a weapon to my long term career goals.
I used to work as PR-communication executive at one of the most famous PR agencies in UAE. Now I am currently working as a marketing research manager at a service firm specialized in offering strategic planning, institutional excellence and quality services as well as other services.
I plan to gain more experience in the field of marketing and then become a brand manager at an international company. Also I am planning to continue my studies maybe to take another certificate from Canada , as I will be moving there in a couple of years.
