TEACHING EXCELLENCE

‘At Newcastle I’ve been encouraged to think outside of the box; to really stretch myself’

For Taka there are no limitations to what she feels able to achieve now, as she approaches the end of her MBA at Newcastle.

‘I’ve come to realise that any restrictions I thought I had in life I’ve been putting on myself. In coming here, I’ve learned to be creative and innovative in how I respond to any issue in front of me,’ she said.

‘At Newcastle, I’ve been encouraged to think outside of the box; to really stretch myself.’

Taka was working for a financial services company in her home country of Nigeria when she decided to pursue an MBA.

She said: ‘It was a really hard decision for me to go back to being a student, but I had strong plans for my life – goals and dreams that I wanted to fulfil.

‘I knew I wanted to study in the UK, so I shortlisted the top universities and Newcastle was in that mix right from the start.’

Taka was awarded a Women in Leadership scholarship by Newcastle University Business School. Aimed at supporting women in business to become influential leaders, the award reflects the University’s commitment to equality and diversity.

As part of the award she has received one-to-one mentoring support from Director of the Business School, Professor Sharon Mavin, an internationally-renowned expert in gender, leadership and organisation studies.

Taka said: ‘Professor Mavin has fought so hard over gender issues; she has really mentored me and motivated me to look into this issue.

‘She advised and guided me when I was putting the proposal for my thesis together, which looks at gender diversity in industry and the barriers women face in attaining top management level positions.’

For Taka the outstanding aspect of her course has been the quality of teaching at Newcastle.

‘The experience and knowledge lecturers want to impact on you has been attained over many years and the way they simply and clearly distil that knowledge, in the best way for you to understand, is inspiring.

‘In one of the modules in particular the lecturer really brought learning to life, and showed how what we were learning as part of our MBA, really reflected and connected with things that are going on in the world.’

She added: ‘I knew I wanted to be part of a business school where I could develop the personal relationships that would help me throughout my time away from home – relationships with my professors, with my cohort.

‘For me it had to be Newcastle; the people here are amazing.’

RESEARCH EXCELLENCE

‘In these last three years I’ve done some amazing things. I’ve been inspired by the people around me.'

Changing disciplines has allowed PhD research student Fulvio to immerse himself in one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century – tackling the effects of climate change.

After completing a Master’s degree in structural engineering in his home city of Milan, followed by a year spent working in industry, Fulvio decided to return to his studies.

He said: ‘I was really motivated to come to Newcastle and do a PhD in Civil Engineering (Water Resources) because I was really interested in the work. I’ve found all the structure and opportunity I was looking for here.’

He approached Professor Richard Dawson, who heads up the University’s Water Group – an academic group within the School of Engineering which works to make our coasts, cities and infrastructure safer and more sustainable for future generations.

Fulvio said: ‘It’s been a complete change of topic; I was a structural engineer and now I’m dealing with flood protection and strategic infrastructure optimisation. These are climate change related issues which, for me, is the challenge of the century – we cannot reverse climate change, so how do we deal with its often catastrophic effects?’

For his degree, Fulvio is building a multi-objective optimisation framework to improve the efficiency of a city’s emergency response during a flooding disaster.

He said: ‘When a natural disaster occurs – and due to climate change these are going to occur more frequently, and their impact be more severe – if you’ve optimised your emergency response, you can optimise your resources and be more sustainable.

‘If your systems are resilient enough, you spend less on resources during a disaster and your city returns to normal much quicker.’

Fulvio has been using the Humber estuary as proof of concept, but also got the opportunity to develop a further case study while on a five-month placement at the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

He said: ‘This was a chance to further international research exchanges among PhD students and early careers researchers and an opportunity to create new connections and build an international network between the two universities.

‘And that’s the amazing thing about Newcastle University – if you expose yourself to these opportunities it is absolutely the right place to be.

‘In these last three years I’ve done some amazing things. I’ve been inspired by the people around me and I’ve had the feedback and support that’s left me free enough to develop my own pathway, but still been there when I needed it.

‘I’m living the life I wanted to live.’

OUTSTANDING CAREERS SUPPORT

‘The Founderships scheme gave me the platform to move from being a technical expert to becoming an entrepreneur.’

Newcastle University alumnus, Johnson, had a date with royalty this summer, thanks in part to the support he’s received from the University’s START UP Founderships scheme.

Johnson was among a select group of entrepreneurs invited to attend St James’ Palace for the prestigious Pitch@Palace initiative founded by the Duke of York.

Aimed at connecting some of the UK’s most exciting start-ups with potential investors, mentors and key business contacts, the event crowned a highly promising start to the graduate’s clean-tech company, Equiwatt.

Johnson, who completed his Master’s at Newcastle, followed by a PhD in electrical and electronic engineering, said: ‘Being asked to St James’ Palace was a massive endorsement and opportunity for Equiwatt, and it was the University’s Founderships scheme that gave me the chance to take my dream and make a business out of it.’

Equiwatt is an intelligent energy management platform that tracks household energy consumption, automatically switching off devices to save energy during peak times when electricity supply is inefficient, expensive or simply insufficient.

It was born out of Johnson’s experiences in his home country of India, where power outages are not uncommon, and fuelled by his passion for energy storage and conservation.

'My PhD looked at energy-efficient microelectronics architecture that could

revolutionise design of microchips worldwide, no matter the application. It was while I was working on this that I started thinking about building a scalable technology business that could impact the world right now,’ he said.

‘The engineering and project management skills I needed for my business I got from my PhD and Master’s degree, but the Founderships scheme gave me the platform to move from being a technical expert to becoming an entrepreneur.’

With six months of funding and intensified business support as part of the Founderships package, Johnson set about launching Equiwatt, working with a START UP adviser to prepare a business plan, carry out market research and navigate the complexities of setting up a business in the UK as an international student.

He said: ‘Founderships is a business incubator scheme that helps you gain the skills you need – it gives you the right foundations, then it’s up to you to take your idea to higher and higher levels.

‘In the early days Founderships support was instrumental to Equiwatt’s foundation. Now we have proven the concept and we’re breaking into the market.’

He added: ‘It’s an exciting time and a nerve wracking one when you see something you have dreamt about starting to become a reality.

‘It’s a real rollercoaster ride running a start-up business.’

TAUGHT MASTERS' COURSES: THE ACADEMIC YEAR

Driven by personal passions, real-world applications, and research that pushes boundaries – the pace of a taught Master’s can feel different to that of an undergraduate degree.

Most Master’s courses are full-time, and take place from September to September. Learning is fast-paced, thought-provoking, and pushes you to apply your own ideas and experience to your studies. Depending on the subject, teaching is delivered via a range of lectures, seminars, group projects, lab-based sessions, technical skills development, and practical experiments.

From start to finish, here’s what to expect…
