Hi there, I'm Nabeel, a fourth year student from Kashmir, India, studying BSc in International Business at the University of Leeds.
"My journey to Leeds started with a strong passion for studying abroad. When researching universities, Leeds stood out immediately for its academic excellence, membership of the Russell Group, and its large, diverse student community. The flexibility of the International Business programme was also a big factor. I was able to choose optional modules within my school as well as discovery modules from across the University, which helped me shape my degree to match my interests and ultimately discover my passion for Management and Consulting.
As part of my degree, I spent my third year on placement with Northern Trains in the Infrastructure Change team. I worked as a Project Management Assistant on a variety of projects across the network, from upgrading staff facilities to supporting sustainability initiatives and improving operational processes. This experience not only gave me practical skills in project management, teamwork, and communication, but also showed me how business concepts from my course apply in real-world situations. It was a challenging but rewarding year that has greatly contributed to my professional and personal development.
Back at Leeds for my final year, I am now the School Rep for International Business, representing student voices and working closely with staff to improve our student experience. This role has given me the opportunity to strengthen my leadership and advocacy skills, while also connecting with students across different years of study. Being able to contribute to positive change within the Business School is one of the most fulfilling parts of my university experience.
Outside of my academic commitments, I have been actively involved in Leeds University Union (LUU) and wider student life. From societies and events to leadership opportunities, LUU has played a big role in shaping my time here. I have also enjoyed living in Leeds itself; a vibrant, student-friendly city with a mix of modern life and history. Whether it’s exploring places like Kirkgate Market, enjoying the city’s food offerings, or staying active at fitness clubs, there’s always something new to experience.
Looking ahead, I am keen to pursue a career in management consulting, building on the skills I have developed during my placement and my time at Leeds. The combination of academic learning, professional experience, and community involvement has prepared me well for this next step.
Studying at Leeds has been a truly transformative journey and one that has challenged me, inspired me, and helped me grow in ways I couldn’t have imagined when I first applied.
