Alumni profile Joanna Redhead

Studied International Business and Politics MSc 2015

Currently Content Activation Manager Financial Times (FT)

Why did you choose to do your degree at QMUL The content of the course itself really stood out as the mixture of business and politics was something that wasnrsquot offered so comprehensively at other universities I also liked that I was able to choose so many of my modules ndash being able to combine broader politics and business subjects with more niche offerings on health and international development was fantastic

How have your studies at QMUL influenced your career Working and studying at the same time gave me a good chance to think about what I really enjoy I love the pressures and fast-paced environment of my workplace but I found myself really enjoying a more project-based approach to work at university as well as all the creative thinking and learning This meant that when a new job opportunity came up at the FT I knew it was the right one for me
