Donya Hosseinikhah Manshadi
MSc Marketing
(January start)
“I’ve always gravitated toward the spaces where disciplines collide, where storytelling meets strategy and creativity meets data. Choosing MSc Marketing at the University of Bath felt less like a career change and more like where all of my interests finally converged.
The programme let me bring my whole background into the room, applying that curiosity to real brand challenges and research grounded in consumer psychology. Bath equipped me with frameworks to channel everything into brand strategy and meaningful communication, giving me the tools to build the bridges I’d always wanted to build, with intention.”
