Liz Walker Liz Walker, Full-time MBA 1993

A valuable network of contacts was one of benefits of the Bradford MBA for self-employed turnaround director Liz Walker who works with a number of charities to help them address their problems.

"The network has given me international experience - all my work has always come about from connections," said Liz, aged 45, who is also a visiting lecturer in Moscow.

"I decided to follow a full-time MBA as I had already embarked upon a distance-learning programme when I was made redundant. I wanted to increase my business skills and understanding. I was already a chartered accountant but studying for the MBA gave me confidence and a broader business understanding.

"Bradford was the best out of the ones I applied to - the others being Warwick and Cranfield - and I liked the operational focus at the School of Management.

"Since gaining my MBA qualification, I was chairman of the Association of MBAs (AMBA) for four years, became Freeman of the City of London, and another highlight has been the international perspectives I have gained through going to Moscow.

"I provide networking sessions for MBA students at Bradford and regularly correspond with them by email."
