The University of Liverpool is a known name to many, and it has its own legacy. Searching through a variety of courses in the same domain, I found the most suitable and wonderful programme. After the first module, I am proud and happy to say that I made a very good decision.
Tell us a little about yourself
I am a native of India and work as a gastrointestinal surgeon in Bahrain. I am passionate about learning new things. My favourite escapes from routine life are strolling around the sea and reading. I cook, write, and love to spend time with my family.
Why did you choose to study your programme?
As a clinician in private healthcare, it is not enough to just work as a doctor. I mean, apart from clinical and surgical skills, many other soft skills are needed to grow. Initially, I thought about studying management, but leadership was one step ahead of management. Then I thought, why not learn what might help me become a better person as a whole, not just a chap who carries out transactions?
Why did you decide to study online with the University of Liverpool?
The University of Liverpool is a known name to many, and it has its own legacy. Searching through a variety of courses in the same domain, I found the most suitable and wonderful programme. After the first module, I am proud and happy to say that I made a very good decision. I could not afford to leave my work and travel to places after more than a decade was spent on medical studies, so this online option came as a boon. And I am sure this platform is as good as the on-campus programme, with the added benefit of inherent social distancing, which is a need of time.
What have your first impressions of the programme been like?
It was an absolutely enthralling experience. Support provided by each member was way more than expected, be it the admissions team, finance team or student support team. The basic induction module was packed with so much academic skills, which were never known to me before. The library is extensively resourced, and IT support is marvellous. Ease of navigation through the modules and online platform is an added benefit. Meticulously curated reading lists, invaluable guidance from the lecturer, and a great team of colleagues made my first module very much informative and enjoyable. It passed in the blink of an eye.
What are you looking forward to most on your programme?
With the advancement, of course, more stringent learning is expected. Modules are going to be tougher in the sense that I don’t have any basic idea about the topics. But that is why I am here to learn them. Looking forward to accomplishing these tasks.
