 Hi, my name is Allison Schmidt and I study a Masters in Logistics and Supply Chain Management and I'm from the U.S., specifically Minnesota. Yeah so I knew I wanted to study abroad and I knew I wanted the international experience which is why I chose the U.K. Specifically I chose Greenwich because it ticked all the boxes, what I wanted to study and they were really supportive with the application process and they made it really easy and smooth for me as an international student. Also I love the location, it's close to London, there's a lot of history and the architecture is beautiful. My undergrad was in economics so I always knew I wanted to work in business and I wanted to narrow down my specialty and I chose to do supply chain and logistics management. So I tried out for both the netball team and the basketball team here and it was a really good way to meet girls and expand my network and I met a lot of people from different degrees and courses and yeah I had a great time and it was a good way to meet people. Logistics and supply chain management is a really pressing issue today internationally due to the COVID-19 pandemic so that was a big reason I decided to study it because I thought it would give me a competitive edge because a lot of companies are in need for this expertise today. In terms of the future I do want to work for an international company which is why I came to University of Greenwich so I could get an international experience with my education. The application itself is really easy. One piece of advice I do have is do your visa application as quickly as possible or as early as possible to get it done. So in the future I intend on working as a supply chain manager for a few years but ultimately my goal is to work as a consultant in supply chain and logistics management.
