Why did you choose Cranfield?

Before studying for her MSc in International Human Resource Management at Cranfield, Bola was Performance and Reward Manager at Virgin Nigeria Airways.

With the desire to broaden her scope in managing human resources across borders, combined with the appeal in flexibility of continuing in her current role, Bola was greatly attracted to the programme at Cranfield. As a wholly postgraduate institution, with an impressive world ranking, the choice was made simple.

What was Cranfield's impact

The Cranfield experience had a significant impact on Bola. After studying at the university, she had gained a great boost in confidence, and was immediately able to put into practice what she loved by understanding the various theories in HR practice.

Gaining an in-depth knowledge of the numerous methods by which to effectively manage people across different geographies was of great importance to Bola, and has successfully carried over into her working career.

Many opportunities have arisen since graduating from the university, and with an MSc from a globally recognised brand such as Cranfield, she is revered by her peers, and now manages over six thousand employees across thirty-three countries in Africa.
