Focus on networking and talk to as many people as you can. Attend events and explore what people are doing in other programs. Expand your thinking by meeting new people. People make Glasgow.

Tell us about your fondest memory at the Business School.

Best part was attending all graduate award activities as you meet people from different programs. However, my fondest memory was from my residency. I look back fondly on my time meeting all my friends and sharing knowledge with each other, it was great experience. Living on campus was something I cherish the most.
