Meet our students

Rita ErraiMBA Luxury Brand Management

Rita studied on the MBA Luxury Brand

Management programme at GCU London.

Here she talks about her course, the guest

lectures she’s attended and the places she

has visited as part of her course.

“I chose this University because it offers

the MBA Luxury Brand

Management programme which is a rare and

new course. It focuses on modern issues and

growing regions of the world which pulled

me in even more.

“It has a great location and an international

environment. There are many reasons why

I’ve made this decision and I confirm I am

glad I did.

“What I have enjoyed most about studying

at GCU London is the lectures given by

professors who are helpful and most

importantly are professionals in each of the

chosen fields. This made us look forward to

the lectures where we learned a lot of

relevant and up-to-date information. The

way the professors include students into the

lesson was very motivating as well.

“Our program leader, Tim Jackson organised

lectures by guest speakers who visited us on

the campus to give us more insight regarding

the reality of the luxury industry which was

very interesting and enjoyable because we

learned from specialists and professionals.

“The highlights of this MBA were definitely

the trips we went on, for example, Bicester

village and Chapel Down Vineyard in Kent.

So, not only did we learn from specialists in

our field, but it was also an opportunity to

enjoy time with classmates outside a

classroom setting.

“Another highlight would be the variety of

subjects we covered during the course. This

MBA has improved my knowledge in some

subjects that I have previously studied, but

most importantly introduced me to others

that I never thought I’d enjoy such as finance

or legal aspects!

“Overall, this MBA has greatly expanded my

knowledge in an enjoyable way.”

you are able and ready to be employed as a public health practitioner. These

competencies are recognised worldwide and are a solid framework for
