Emily went on to do a Masters’ degree in Journalism and is currently teaching English in Suzhou, China and focusing on her music career in her free time.  

“In April, I was invited to the BBC Radio Nottingham studio by Dean Jackson to discuss my song “City Nights.” The confidence I now have to speak on the radio is thanks to the presentation-based assignments at UA92. These experiences prepared me for public speaking, a crucial aspect of my music career. UA92 not only provided me with degree-specific skills but also transferable ones, enhancing my confidence and belief in my abilities.”

After 18 months as Marketing & Business Development Executive at Gately, Huma has recently taken up a new role as Paid Social & Performance Trainee at WYK Digital.

“Looking back, now I realise I’ve come such a long way. I have so much more confidence now and I overcome my fear of public speaking. I have clear goals and I know what I want to achieve. I would say to anyone thinking about coming to UA92, you can do it! Even if you doubt yourself in the beginning, there is so much help and support available. It’s the best place to study in Manchester!”  

Kieran currently works as a Business Journalist at SBC, writing about Sports Business and the payments landscape.

“During my time at UA92, I honed my skills in multimedia storytelling, which has been invaluable in my professional journey. The person I was when I graduated was ambitious and eager to make an impact. Now, I’m not only experienced, but also committed to continuous learning and growth, striving to apply the lessons in resilience from UA92 every day.”

Matt is now an Analyst at 3vrm, helping organisations to manage risk through their 3^rd party supply chain and vendor relationships. 

“I was told at a young  age that I wasn’t “academic”, I dropped out of college due to lack of interest, and then made a living talking. I left a job I was pretty good at to go and do something completely different and study Computer Science at UA92. Computer science was something I wanted to do, and maybe equally as important, I wanted to PROVE that I could do. I did alright on that final point in the end!?”

Asila is now a Social Media Designer in Kuala Lumpur, where she creates social media content for clients in the beauty and lifestyle industry.

“UA92 has shaped me in a way where I have better time management skills and it has help me become more resilient. From my 3 years in UA92, I have not just aced my academics but also developed my soft skills which was one of the key factors that stood me out from the other fresh graduates when I was looking for a job.”
