MSc Human Resource Management, from Thailand

Why did you choose to study at LUMS?

Lancaster University Management School is ranked among the top management schools in the UK and it provides a great opportunity to explore different cultures, both in terms of the excellent mix of students’ nationalities, language classes, and the opportunity to study abroad. Looking through the website of Lancaster University I found many interesting activities both academic and non-academic related.

Why did you choose your particular programme?

I have always had my interest in humanity’s relation to oneself and society. Having an Economics background provided me with some idea of management, so I decided to study Human Resource Management. MSc HRM at LUMS provided the best curriculum within HR and beyond. CIPD accreditation makes it even better.

What are you enjoying most about your programme?

The programme is just like what I was expecting and all my classmates are far better than I could have ever asked for. Lecturers and staff are professional but friendly and approachable. The longer I stay, the surer I am that I have made the right decision to come here.

Tell us about your best Lancaster moment so far.

There are many good moments here in Lancaster. What I enjoyed the most would be the best facilities and students’ activities provided. I joined an aerial silk class last term and it was a blast! The Sport centre is also another great facility here, with a professional indoor climbing wall which is where I have been spending my free time with some of my classmates.

What are your plans after graduating from LUMS?

Well, to be honest, I don’t have an exact plan yet but I am thinking of going back to the South East Asia region. I will probably apply for jobs in international companies where I get to move around and meet new people with different projects. I have started a small coffee shop in my hometown in Thailand which has always been my deep passion. I am sure that what I have learned from LUMS will help me manage my coffee shop from a distance while I pursue my other dream of being a main player in an international firm.
