Milan Williams make the pivotal decision to switch into the dynamic field of Marketing Communications for his postgraduate studies.
Reflecting on this decision, Milan notes, "I took a marketing module in my previous undergraduate degree and really enjoyed it. It's also a profession you can use in any sector which makes it extremely attractive.”
The transition into marketing challenged Milan, who had limited prior knowledge of marketing concepts and theories. Milan shares, "It challenged me in the best way, as I was unsure how to practically apply marketing concepts. This experience not only provided me with the skills I needed, but also mapped out my career journey in front of me- I felt really motivated.”
“I learned how to think as a marketer, and think about how the things I do bring value. Marketing is not just about promoting products; it's about making a meaningful impact in people's lives.”

Luthfa embarked on a transformative journey to the UK, specifically choosing Oxford Brookes for her studies.
Reflecting on her decision, Luthfa shares, "Midwifery was something that I chose for myself, it was something I really wanted to do." Her passion ignited four years ago, and despite exploring options in her home countries, the course wasn't available. Undeterred, Luthfa applied to Oxford Brookes: “The interview was really smooth, they were very welcoming, and I was the only international student that had an interview that day," she recalls.
Midwifery isn't just a career choice for Luthfa; it's a calling. The practical exposure during placements is deeply rewarding, knowing she's making a tangible impact. "All the practical exposure that I'm getting during placement is really rewarding to see that you're doing something that's actually making a change, helping someone, so when I go to sleep at night, I feel content and worthy of what I'm doing on a daily basis."
“Midwifery was something that I chose for myself, it wasn't a course I chose just to create my career; it was something I really wanted to do." ”
