Completing my MBA in SHRM and Leadership from York St John University through LUBM has been one of the most rewarding achievements in my professional journey. I chose this programme because I wanted to grow beyond day-to-day HR activities and develop a stronger strategic understanding of how people management and leadership directly impact organisational success.
This MBA gave me a clearer perspective on Strategic Human Resource Management and what it truly means to lead. I learned how to align HR practices with business goals, strengthen organisational culture, manage change effectively, and support workforce performance in a structured way. The programme also improved my critical thinking and decision-making, and helped me become more confident in communication, leadership, and handling complex workplace situations.
Balancing work responsibilities alongside study required discipline, but the flexibility of the programme made it achievable. The support through LUBM was also a major strength of my experience, because I had clear guidance on requirements, timelines, and submissions, which helped me stay organised and focused throughout the journey.
I’m genuinely proud of completing this MBA because it represents growth, commitment, and progress. I would strongly recommend the MBA in SHRM and Leadership to working professionals who want to step into leadership roles, strengthen their strategic HR expertise, and earn a recognised UK qualification without putting their career on pause.
