Former Level 3 Business Diploma student Mollen Ngwenya shares his experience at Callywith and studying Business Management at Manchester Metropolitan University
How are you feeling to have graduated?
It’s obviously a massive, massive achievement to have graduated. Never in a million years did I think I’d be be here with a degree on my hands. All the hard work and sweat has paid off massively.
How was your experience at university?
My experience at uni was the best time of my life I can’t lie. I remember the first day feeling a bit overwhelmed by the busyness of the city and starting a 4-year degree with thousands of new faces every day was daunting to say the least but at the same time an exciting situation to be in.
“Fast forward 4 years later, I’ve gained lots and lots of friends for life, and managed to meet some of the most amazing people you could ever think of. I’ve really enjoyed my time at MMU. Now I’ve gained a different set of skills and knowledge that I am definitely putting into use against the challenges of this world.
How did Callwith support you in your application and transition to university?
Callywith immensely helped me from the moment I stepped foot for my first day as a college student. The college helped me throughout my time there, I met amazing tutors and teachers who were always there for me during my struggles. I’d like to thank everyone at Callywith from the bottom of heart, I really appreciate everything they did for me. Jamie in Student Services was so good at helping me settle in and if ever I needed anything he was always there. Lucy Maggs (the Assistant Principal at the time), has also been absolutely vital in helping me chase after my dreams. I am still in regular contact with them and if ever there’s something I need, they are always there. I can’t recommend Callywith enough. It’s the best place to be in preparation to transition for university, trust me.
What are you hoping to do in the future?
Currently, I’m embarking on a HR management job role here in Manchester, in the long run my plan is to go back and do a PHD in Football business management. That’s the dream job right there.
