USA Testimonials

I have gained knowledge on the background of psychology and how it is applied to real life. The comfort and reassurance of the teachers and small classes has made me more confident.

When I went to my first university, I did not have that diversity and I never felt like I fitted in. Regent's had the variety of people that I looked for, which created the instant “home” feeling I wanted. 

Coming to Regent's and being a part of such a diverse community has opened my eyes and my views. I have learned so much about different cultures and discovered countries I hadn’t even known about. 

London has always been my favourite city. People are shocked to know that as I live right next to New York City but I prefer London. It is not as busy but I still get that city feeling that I love. The culture in London is amazing as it is a melting pot of Europe. It is great for travelling as London is right next to so many amazing countries. 

The MSc Marketing Psychology offers the perfect blend of both disciplines. Until now, I never realised how much psychology is used in marketing, and this really interests me. I’ve learned about the theories behind the field and have used those to practice in real-life scenarios.

The biggest benefit of studying with such a diverse community is learning about new opinions and points of views that I wouldn’t have learned living in America. I’ve definitely expanded my thinking to be more global.  Studying in London has exposed me to so many different cultures, and that is a great opportunity that I think everyone should experience.  

We have a small class, around 15 of us. We’ve become a little ensemble or troupe, which is really nice as we’re so close and hang out outside of class so it creates a more intimate atmosphere than if we had 30 or 40 people in the class. We get to touch on all the different aspects of theatre - set design, costumes, lighting, sound - so learn a bit more about how a play comes together. There’s so much more that goes into creating a show than just an actor saying their lines.

I think the biggest thing that drew me to Regent’s is that it’s so different to anything you can experience in the States. Not only is the campus so diverse but you can also study different branches of acting and theatre, which were not on offer back in Texas. The entire student body at Regent’s is probably just as big as my graduate class in Texas. It's nice to come to a much smaller campus where you feel more connected like a family.

I'm working in London as an International New Business and Marketing Manager at Creative Culture - a cross-cultural consultancy that helps brands and agencies with global campaigns. 

My dissertation has also been accepted to Meccsa, where I will be presenting in January. So my academic career lives on, as well as my agency career.

I chose Regent's for its size. During my undergraduate studies, I went to a larger university in the US and it was more challenging to develop interpersonal relationships with classmates and professors. I knew at Regent's I'd always be in a small classroom environment and have the chance to get to know my course mates and course leaders. The size of classes enables you to really nurture bonds with your professors.

The University's careers service was extremely helpful. I made weekly appointments with an advisor, who was able to help me with my placement applications and come up with a strategy to secure a Tier 2 visa. Definitely take advantage of this resource!

For me, the spirit of Regent's means friendship, entrepreneurship and support. I cannot really stress how much of a huge part Regent’s has played in my life the past two years. I would not have been given the opportunity to start my business here in London without the support of the luxury brand management and careers staff. I also met my amazing business partner and best friend Ksenia at Regent’s, and I wouldn’t be here without her by my side!

As I’d hoped, I was recruited for jobs shortly after finishing my programme in Oct 2017.  I am now doing marketing strategy in a job I love, and putting the new skills I learned at Regent’s to work.  Surprisingly, I’ve had several people say they are impressed that I did what I set out to do.

Since graduating, I’ve moved to New York and got a job as a Production Assistant for NBCUniversal. I have since been promoted to Assistant Producer/Editor.

The world seems small now but in a good way. My first day at Regent’s was my first day in the UK. Flying to another country for a three-year commitment was terrifying. However, I grew to love the University, the people, and the country. I even travelled to many other countries during my studies. Now, nowhere seems too far away.
