Student spotlight

Ulala Hirose

Japan MSc Digital Marketing

"I chose AMBS because the University of Manchester is globally recognised, and I felt its strong brand would be valuable for building an international career. The classes are very practical, as many of them use real company cases, which helped me gain hands-on experience and even prepare for job interviews. Manchester itself is a very livable city—not as overwhelming as London, relatively affordable cost of living, making day trips and holidays easily accessible during breaks. It is full of opportunities and things to enjoy. With supportive staff and diverse student communities, I’ve been able to settle in quickly and really enjoy both studying and living here."
