GCU has made me a more confident person today and I have carried the skills learned with me into my career.

2021 Marketing graduate Nicole Baird shares her insight into life at GCU and life after graduating from university.

I chose to study at GCU because…

I felt that GCU had the best range of courses that I was looking for, and offered both educational and practical benefits that other university courses did not.

The most important aspect of my university experience has been…

The opportunity I was given in gaining practical experience that I now use today in the beginnings of my career. I feel that GCU offered a great level of student support and lecturers were always helpful and at hand to ensure that you succeeded.

My biggest lesson learned so far is…

I gained confidence throughout my time at university. Throughout my 5 years of studying I completed various pieces of coursework that involved presentations, working in groups and stepping out of my comfort zone. This has made me a more confident person today, and I have carried the skills learned with me into my career.

I’m proud to be part of the University for the Common Good because…

Glasgow Caledonian university is very welcoming to students and supportive. It is not pretentious and is exactly what I would have hoped for in a university.

I get my inspiration from…

Whitney Wolfe herd. I love how she is a strong woman who had an idea and went for it. She overcame barriers throughout her career that discriminated against her for being a woman and created such a strong business idea, that she is the youngest self-made billionaire.

My next steps look like…

I hope to continue to grow and develop in my career and eventually own my own business one day.
