00:00:09.415 --> 00:00:11.315
If you even look at the name, it's Arts,

2
00:00:11.325 --> 00:00:12.675
Enterprise and Development.

3
00:00:12.695 --> 00:00:15.235
So it's, it's focusing on how you can sort of grow

4
00:00:15.865 --> 00:00:17.955
economies, uh, grow businesses.

5
00:00:18.135 --> 00:00:20.355
Uh, through creative means.

6
00:00:21.065 --> 00:00:22.675
I've come from a country, uh,

7
00:00:23.005 --> 00:00:26.155
which is currently struggling quite a bit with development.

8
00:00:26.535 --> 00:00:29.715
Um, and coming from a country like Pakistan, you see

9
00:00:29.715 --> 00:00:32.795
that it has so much scope, um, in terms of art, in terms

10
00:00:32.815 --> 00:00:34.595
of um, sort of creativity,

11
00:00:35.135 --> 00:00:37.115
but not a lot of work is being done in it.

12
00:00:37.255 --> 00:00:38.955
And so that's why I feel like I'm very,

13
00:00:39.135 --> 00:00:40.915
as a creative individual myself,

14
00:00:41.235 --> 00:00:43.435
'cause I come from a family of artists.

15
00:00:43.675 --> 00:00:45.035
I come from a family of singers.

16
00:00:45.085 --> 00:00:47.075
Creativity and art is something I hold very

17
00:00:47.075 --> 00:00:48.115
near and dear to my heart.

18
00:00:48.415 --> 00:00:50.315
And I see the potential that my country

19
00:00:50.335 --> 00:00:51.995
and many other developing nations have.

20
00:00:52.455 --> 00:00:54.955
And, um, truly the creative industries,

21
00:00:55.095 --> 00:00:57.395
it is a powerful means to sort of grow

22
00:00:57.395 --> 00:00:58.475
and flourish economies.

23
00:00:58.895 --> 00:01:02.555
And this degree sort of paves the way for me to sort

24
00:01:02.555 --> 00:01:04.355
of think deeper in terms of that.

25
00:01:04.495 --> 00:01:06.515
Um, and to go in that direction in the future.

26
00:01:11.615 --> 00:01:13.435
I'm working at the Warwick Innovation Group

27
00:01:13.435 --> 00:01:15.035
as a community development manager.

28
00:01:15.195 --> 00:01:17.795
Community development was a big part of my degree.

29
00:01:18.215 --> 00:01:20.195
Uh, it was one of the modules that I had

30
00:01:20.215 --> 00:01:22.595
and it was probably the most interesting part about

31
00:01:22.615 --> 00:01:23.795
my degree. In the future

32
00:01:24.095 --> 00:01:27.115
Um, I'm hoping to sort of work in roles associated

33
00:01:27.115 --> 00:01:29.515
with business development to work with, um,

34
00:01:29.805 --> 00:01:32.995
young businesses, um, to help young businesses grow

35
00:01:33.495 --> 00:01:35.235
and maybe start one of my own someday.

36
00:01:40.625 --> 00:01:42.875
It's contributed in many, many ways.

37
00:01:43.155 --> 00:01:44.595
I think Warwick has, uh,

38
00:01:44.795 --> 00:01:47.555
a reputation which is well known across the globe.

39
00:01:47.685 --> 00:01:50.915
Being an alumni from Warwick, uh, holds a lot of value.

40
00:01:50.915 --> 00:01:52.115
When you're applying for jobs

41
00:01:52.415 --> 00:01:55.315
or when you are networking with people, it sort

42
00:01:55.315 --> 00:01:58.635
of gives you this, um, extra bit of credibility on top

43
00:01:58.635 --> 00:02:01.035
of your own skills, um, and values.

44
00:02:01.455 --> 00:02:03.275
So it's, it's helped me vastly.

45
00:02:08.235 --> 00:02:10.315
Studying the course at Warwick has enabled me

46
00:02:10.315 --> 00:02:13.755
to become a better researcher, a better human being.

47
00:02:13.895 --> 00:02:15.635
It teaches you a lot of empathy as well.

48
00:02:15.875 --> 00:02:18.315
'cause you, you study about a lot of different countries.

49
00:02:18.575 --> 00:02:21.195
Um, a lot of different stories, a lot of different people

50
00:02:21.295 --> 00:02:24.235
and individuals who may not necessarily be the most famous

51
00:02:24.235 --> 00:02:27.395
people, but their stories stood out to me so much.
