Alison Foote nee Sharp and Dugal Sharp, MBA, 1990

I graduated in 2014. The course had a positive impact on my life, especially in business and in the working environment in general. I had an amazing experience at WBS – the lectures were very good. I especially remember Professor Ron Walter.

The most challenging but rewarding 3 years of my life. The first time I studied whilst I had a full time job. I enjoyed the syndicate projects the most as well as the opportunity to study subjects like Finance and Economics for the first time.

How fabulous to be treated like my opinions mattered and to be exposed to fascinating classroom discussion with a whole bunch of really sharp people. That is how I remember my year studying the HDPM (as it was called then) in 1987. Loet Douwes-Dekker was an absolute maestro in challenging the views of the class…

Some of the best years of my life. We worked hard, had a lot of fun, and made lifelong friendships.
