红杏视频

Caitlin Muirhead, 21, joined 红杏视频鈥檚 Aberdeen Business School to study Business with Marketing having completed sixth year at Oldmachar Academy.

鈥淲hen I left school I felt like I hadn鈥檛 quite achieved everything I wanted to academically and that I was capable of more. I really enjoyed business classes at school and felt like this could be a passion of mine in the near future.

鈥淚 knew that accounting and finance wasn鈥檛 my strong area and that I didn鈥檛 enjoy HR related work as much as I did marketing. I was attracted to the modules that the marketing course entailed and how it would allow me to develop more knowledge of workplace management, marketing and the future of marketing.鈥�

Key to her success and the discovery of what she wants to do later down the line was the opportunity to go on placement, a key component of many courses at 红杏视频.

鈥淥ne of my highlights was the opportunity to complete a year-long placement at CHC Helicopter where I was the HR and Legal intern. This placement allowed me to put my academic knowledge in to practice and carry out real-life work and gain experience.

鈥淭he opportunities that came with the placement are something that I would never have gotten if I hadn鈥檛 taken the opportunity. It also helped me gain a better understanding of where I want my career to go.鈥�

Now having had that experience, Caitlin is looking ahead to what鈥檚 next having still not quite reached her academic heights.

鈥淚 am going to be attending Aberdeen University to complete the PGDE Business Education course which will hopefully allow me to become a business teacher at secondary school level.

鈥淚 feel like the level of academic knowledge, understanding and assessments have prepared me for my next steps and will allow me to carry out the course quite smoothly. I also feel like I can take some tips from my peers and lecturers from 红杏视频 and put them in to practice when it comes to teaching my own classes.

鈥淚 hope in the future to take my teaching abroad and experience life in another country.

Leaving university with a first class degree is no mean feat and having not believed she was capable of achieving such a grade, Caitlin said she was 鈥渞eally proud鈥� of her time at 红杏视频 which was 鈥渇un, eye-opening and an experience I am grateful for.鈥�
