Graduate quote

Chibesa Ng'ona

“The BA (Hons) International Business Management matches my career goals perfectly. The course provides an in-depth experience of the business world which will enhance my academic development.

“Learning about business in the international arena is an exciting experience and this diverse and versatile subject focuses on business management from both national and international perspectives; you really get the best of both worlds. The chance to study abroad is a massive bonus to me too.

“When I came to Southampton Solent University I sensed a concrete and substantial structure of academic support. Like many students I wanted to move from home to gain some independence and personal growth and Solent conveyed a simple philosophy: commitment to enhance each student’s academic knowledge. Every new student hopes to make the most of their time spent at University. I am glad to say I have made many new friends. We look after one another and I know our friendships will last for many years to come.”
