Christina Parry BSc International Marketing, 2015

Senior Recruitment Consultant, Hays

I always felt at home at Southampton and would recommend the University to anyone.

The opportunity to study a broad range of subjects within my degree and the friendly atmosphere on campus were two aspects that influenced my decision to study at Southampton. I have taken up many opportunities during my time at the University. For example, I have studied a year abroad in Barcelona, been a first-year course representative, volunteered in Guatemala working with underprivileged children and completed an online marketing internship at Splendia in Barcelona.

I have enjoyed my marketing modules; in particular digital marketing, as it is very current and up to date with what is going on in the marketing industry today. Events and services such as the Careers Fairs, Careers and Employability Service and my marketing internships have helped me understand the job opportunities available and the industries I’d like to pursue a career in. Back at Southampton I enjoyed the structure of my course.

Although I’m graduating with a degree in international marketing, it’s a flexible programme and I also got the chance to study subjects such as human resource management and IT, it’s designed so you can follow your own interests. I always felt at home at Southampton and would recommend the University to anyone.
