The Masters in Marketing Search

My Search for the Masters program initiated during my MBA program. The passion to study abroad, is still alive as I write these words. Every day brings new challenges, new thoughts, new experiences and new lessons.

To tell the truth, I never expected to come abroad to study, I did not have that much funds at hand. But then things started happening, I got a grant from Lancaster University, I had good savings of my own, parents agreed to give some more funds. And here I was looking at last at more real opportunity of studying abroad.

I had seen my close friends and relatives walking down that international departures gate at Karachi International Airport, and for me it was always a dream to walk down that way to study abroad. I did not think it was going to happen, but happen it did as if it was destined to happen.

I was searching for a Master's program abroad which I could afford from my own savings without resorting to my parents expenditure. But my searches were not focused on lower tier universities but to make sure that I studied at some reputable institute which will give me an edge in life afterwards.

Whenever, I would search for a university, for Masters in Marketing, I would always come across Msc Advanced Marketing Management at Lancaster University. I was very much impressed by this course, but the fact that Lancaster University was not that well known in Pakistan always bothered me. But that word 'Advanced' in the Advanced Marketing Management did not cease to get my attention every time.

By January 2010, I had accumulated all the funds, and decided the universities to apply to. These included Lancaster University, Manchester University, Warwick Business School, EDHEC Business School (France), Cranfield University and University of Bath.
