One-Year MBA,

Pre Hult: Lawyer,
Abreu & Marques e Associados (Professional Services)
Each and every one
of our fellow classmates is ready to help, to explain, to encourage, and to
ensure that no one gets left behind.
WHY HULT
What I liked about Hult’s approach was the efficiency, the
promptness, and the personal contact that was present throughout the
recruitment process. When I started to look for schools offering MBA programs, I
visited Hult’s site and requested a brochure. From that moment on, recruiters
contacted me on a weekly basis and even met with me in Lisbon, my hometown. I
was also drawn to Hult’s MBA program because of its innovative and modern
approach to teaching, based on closeness between faculty members and students:
this was mentioned in the literature I read prior to attending the school, and
I can now confirm it to be true!
MY LIFE AT HULT
Hult’s atmosphere is one of its best points; the wide cultural
diversity brings extremely interesting people together and the bonds one forms
are deep and strong. Also, the fact that each person has a very different
professional background contributes to a rich environment in the classroom,
where each contributes and helps the other, with their specific set of skills.
To illustrate this last point, we had a student with a background in
engineering who held a three-hour class for the whole MBA cohort in order to
answer our questions and doubts prior to a quantitative analysis exam.
The most inspirational faculty member for me would be Professor
Terence Tse, who teaches Financial Management. His classes go at an
overwhelming rhythm, yet they are fun, interesting, and challenging. So far,
International Marketing has been my most rewarding course, as I find the
behavior and psyche of the consumer a fascinating subject to understand and
study. Being more of a people person than a number cruncher, being able to
relate market trends to the psychology behind people’s wants, wishes, and needs
(even if only to some degree), constitutes one of the most important tools I’m
set to acquire
for pursuing my future goals. When pressure runs high at the end
of the module, each and every one of our fellow classmates is ready to help, to
explain, to encourage, and to ensure that no one gets left behind. The
eight-hour marathon team meetings are interrupted by jokes, laughter,
breathers, and the occasional mince pie offered by the staff. That is what
makes us keep going and be able to successfully face all the challenges in
front of us.
The people at Hult
are what make this experience such a valuable one.
A GLOBAL HULT EXPERIENCE
I am planning to rotate to New York as I’m interested in
pursuing a career in the fashion industry. As such, I feel that the city is the
perfect complement to my experience in London, and that by studying in New
York, I will surely gain useful professional contacts and an international
network that will help me to pursue my goals.
MY CAREER
As I am set on pursuing a career in the fashion industry, Hult
has already provided me with insightful advice on how I should proceed and
approach the major career shift ahead of me (as I was previously a lawyer for
five years). Furthermore, Hult
has already given me serious options when it comes to contacts and
internships from which I can start developing the required skills and
understanding of what will be needed to complete a successful change and smooth
transition.
