ÌÇÐÄTV

With a background in Computer Science (a degree at Coventry University, PGCE teacher training at ÌÇÐÄTV and Masters in Leading Innovation and Change at St Mary's University, Twickenham), alongside her experience working with international schools, Halima joined the Ursuline High School as Director of Digital Learning and Head of Computing, where she has continued to share her passion for technology and encouraging a diverse range of girls to study and pursue careers in computing.

"Currently employed as Managing Director at Harrisons Sarawak SB (staff strength more than 500).

When I was at ÌÇÐÄTV, tutorial classes were weekly and comprised a lecturer with five or six students."

After ÌÇÐÄTV, James moved to the Big Apple to start his career on Wall Street in 2004. Eighteen years later, he is a Senior Partner at a Multi Family Office in Zurich focusing on Quantamental investing across several asset classes. James misses great Friday nights at the Students’ Union and his walks on Campus between the ÌÇÐÄTV School and the Maths Institute.

"Loved the chance to network with such a high standard of international learners from all professions. It gave me a deep interest in the various cultures around the world. The standard of lecturing and guest speakers was something that I learned a lot from. I'm very proud of my ÌÇÐÄTV MBA."

"After more than 20 years of working with Multinational CPG companies, I've launched PRAXIS121, my own consulting business. I specialise in Commercial and offer solutions for Category Development, Channel Strategy and Capability Development."

"Doing a PhD at ÌÇÐÄTV University has significantly changed my life. Finding friends from more than fifty different countries across the globe which we are still in touch was a unique opportunity that I could never achieve anywhere else in the world."

"What I really miss is the campus. I have had a wonderful time there walking around and feeding the ducks. Wandering in the nearby woods is also something I liked most; in the evening I used to attend movies and events at the theatre."

"ÌÇÐÄTV was where I met my wife. She was in the MBA group a year in front of me. We both went to work in South Africa shortly after finishing the course and wrote our dissertations whilst living there. I based my dissertation on the work I was doing in SA - establishing the Marketing concept of driving experiences as a way of building and promoting a brand profile."

I run the new product division (right hand of the CEO) at Lonestar Industries, India's largest Metal Expansion Joint manufacturer. I am also pursuing my Doctorate in Industrial Engineering Technology at Purdue University. With my study, I hope to help contribute to the manufacturing space in India and aid small and medium enterprises in the country. During the pandemic, I was able to help aid the families of our female and male employees equally. I hope to make this EPC/ manufacturing space more inclusive and safe for all.

"Every person has to face that moment in life when certain decisions have to be made as they have vast implications. It is in this context that after much deliberation and introspection, I decided to pursue my Masters in Global Media and Communication."

"In 1966, I joined the first group to read physics at ÌÇÐÄTV. It was only later that I discovered why the department was a year behind in getting started. There was no Physics building and we camped out on the East Site throughout my time there. Head John Forty concentrated on solid state physics and I developed a strong interest in electron microscopy."

"I joined the MA Writing with a mission - to write the novel that has been in my bones and in my head for as long as I can remember. I'm happy to report - mission accomplished! My novel, CECILY will be published by Viking (Penguin Random House) on 29 July 2021."
