WBS Masters Student Experience

We are dedicated to supporting every step of the WBS student journey by fostering an inclusive, enriching environment where academic, personal, and professional growth thrive. During your studies at WBS we offer many opportunities to engage with events outside of the classroom. These can have real benefits, both professionally and personally.

During your studies we encourage you to regularly look at resources in the Student Handbook. These provide support and guidance to help you through your journey in the WBS Community.
