Laurel Wang
MSc Business Psychology
I have to say that coming to Worcester and studying at the University of Worcester is one thing that I'll never regret. Not only for the learning but also for the unique experience that I have had.
I completed a BA in international Human Resource Management as my undergraduate course, and have studied an MSc in Business Psychology. In my current class, half of us are international students. People from Britain, China, Singapore, Finland etc. We all bring our own culture and opinions to the class and exchange ideas. Even our course tutors are impressed by our active multi-cultural study environment.
The local Chinese association has involved me in daily work and helped to build our Chinese student committee in Worcester. I graduated recently and, on my return, I got a job at the Shanghai branch of a big British company as a Consultant recruiting people from different countries and industries.

Yigong Huang
International Business BA (Hons)
When I first walked into the University of Worcester, I could not help thinking "what a beautiful and peaceful place this is." During those days in Worcester, I made new friends, learnt new knowledge and travelled around the UK feeling I had found my new hometown. Now, after almost three years, I have an excellent job in Chengdu because of the skills I learnt in Worcester. All I want to say is that I really loved it there and miss everything!
