How did you find out about Warwick?

When I decided to study a Master in Marketing in Europe, I searched universities on different websites such as The Financial Times, Master Studies and The Guardian. In all these rankings, Warwick was on one of the top universities in the UK. Then, I asked references for some friends, who are British, about Warwick and all of them gave me very good feedback about Warwick and its Marketing program.

Did you consider applying anywhere else? What made you choose Warwick?

In Peru, most people study their Master or MBA programs at the University of Manchester or The London Business School due to brand awareness. However, after researching I was between Imperial College Business School, Warwick Business School, and The University of Cologne (Germany). Last March 2018, there was an Opening Day at Warwick. The event included an introductory branding class and a guided tour through campus. After that, I decided to study at Warwick. I got impressed with the big campus and all the facilities that Warwick has. In addition, Warwick offered me a scholarship that also helped to make my decision.
