Before arriving at WBS, I felt very excited about what my journey was going to be. Not only was I about to study a subject that fascinated me, but I would also be living in the UK for the first time.

I couldn’t wait to begin my lectures and seminars, and meet some new friends here. This is my first time studying abroad after living in Taiwan, so I was a little worried about how to keep up with the study, how complicated the lectures might be and how quickly I might adapt.

My mind was soon put at ease – though challenging and dynamic, my course has proved extremely engaging and useful, which has really motivated me to excel and improve.  

The knowledge covered during my first term was challenging, comprehensive, and practical. I had four modules in term one:

• Foundation of Financial and Management Accounting
• Quantitative Methods for Business
• Strategy Analysis and Practice
• Marketing

Upon completing my first term, I began to understand how to utilise what I have learned in my future career, which is my most significant gain during this term. As a marketing student, it is beneficial to understand the theoretical and practical examples of marketing and related subjects, such as financial accounting analysis, cost and budget, statistic calculation, and quantitative analysis. WBS allocated those modules to business students to equip us with adequate knowledge before embarking further in our careers.
