“This Course Really Sets You Up With A Good Career Path, and That is Exactly Why I Chose it.”
Case Study - Bhavna Dholakia Manchester Business School
Bhavna Dholakia graduated in BSc (Hons) Accounting in 2012 and is now an audit associate at Deloitte in London.
‘Everything I did during my three years at Manchester Business School was worthwhile, fun, and helped me to be ther person I am today.’
What Made You Choose Your Course at MBS?
When choosing a University I looked primarily at the course and how it ranked. Manchester seemed great as it’s a very well respected university, and it had a degree which gave me a head start into a career in accountancy, which was exactly what I wanted. After visiting an open day, I knew that Manchester was the right place for me. The city was so vibrant and exciting, the shopping great and social scene never ending. All of the lecturers at Manchester were so welcoming and the course seemed perfect for me.
What Did You Enjoy Most About Your Time at MBS? Where do I even begin?! There certainly isn’t one aspect I enjoyed more than others, I think everything I did during my three years at Manchester was worthwhile, fun, and helped me be the person I am today.
BSc Accounting was different from other courses in that I wasn’t just one student out of 200; there
was a small group of us, and as a result I really built up good working relationships not only with my peers, making some friends for life, but also with some of my tutors. In terms of my learning experience, this made a huge difference and I felt like I was always supported, challenged, and motivated to be the best that I could.
As a Student, Did You Have A Future Career Path in Mind? This course really sets you up with a good career path, and that’s exactly why I chose it. It gives you the opportunities to develop the skills that accountancy and other firms are looking for. Even if you didn’t want to go into accountancy, it gives you a broad skill set and there are many chances to network with the Big 4 and other firms to develop a practical understanding of business to help decide where your career lies.
What Job Have You Gone onto Since Graduating? I’m currently on a graduate recruitment programme with Deloitte as an audit associate in consumer business. I’m signed for three years (provided I pass my ACA exams) and will then qualify as a chartered accountant. My work is really varied, and my clients range from a hotel group to a chemical manufacturer and an advertising firm, to name a few. The type of work I’m doing involves lots of discussions with the finance teams of the client companies, in order

accountancy degrees) and it set me up with the social skills that I needed for the workplace. Having knowledge of audit really helped me at the start of the job. It also meant that I knew what I was getting into when I started at Deloitte, compared to other business degrees which don’t focus as much on practical audit skills.

A Business School for the Real World® When selecting a university, we strongly encourage you to consider all of the following factors: • The subject area – does it really interest you, are you passionate about it?
• The course structure – does the learning and assessment structure suit your learning style?
I love working at Deloitte, and being there the past few months has shown me that with the ACA qualification there is so much I can do in life. I’d quite like to stay at Deloitte for at least

4-5 years, and then hopefully carry on climbing the corporate ladder, but I know that it’s not for everyone, and if great opportunities come my way, then I may just have to take them!
• The place and facilities and support offered – can you imagine yourself living there for 3 or 4 years?
• And finally what else does the university offer you to help with the next big step out into the world of work?

Loud spoke to Josh from Aussie Indie – Pop four piece San Cisco.
What are your views on the current music scene? I really like the way things are heading, there are lots of great bands coming through.

Do you aim for commercial success? For me personally it’s more about the enjoyment of creating music with my friends. That said our music has been used in a commercials and TV.
What else have you got lined up this? We are touring the UK with the Darwin Dees, which is great as we feel like both bands are very suited. We then back touring Australian with a band called Chaos Chaos and then we are returning to the States to play Lollapalooza. We are also probably
