I believe that not
many universities offer
an entrepreneurship degree
in the UK for undergraduates.
Doing business entrepreneurship,
it can often help
you put the stuff
that you have learned
into business practice.
One of the coursework
is asking new students
to give a pitch presentation
about your business idea,
create a business
report about it.
It kind of gives
us that head-start,
if we really want
to be future entrepreneurs.
The University of Southampton
Business School offers a lot
of flexibility in terms of
choosing optional modules.
For example, I am a business
entrepreneurship student,
but for my optional module I
can choose financial accounting,
management accounting
and principles of tax and audit.
Initially, I was
on my three-year course.
I’ve changed it to four years,
which includes a placement year,
and industrial placement.
The placement office
in the University
of Southampton helped me a lot,
they are the best.
They won the national award
for the best employment service
in a university as well.
Next year, hopefully
if my placement application
goes well with IBM,
I will be going to one of
their brands offices in the UK.
I joined a lot of societies,
so I don’t feel
like I’m living alone
in this country.
I joined the Indonesian society.
Besides that, I
also joined Enactors,
a social enterprise society.
I’m under the event
and marketing theme as well.
I also joined the Women
in Business Society,
and also the Feminist Society.
In the future,
people will know
the University of Southampton
Business School better,
because actually it’s
a really good business school,
they offer a lot
of opportunities and experience
to their students.
