The Global Student Cometh

Ms Trinity Gatuz, Vice President of Accounting and Finance of a global company in Philippines dealing in power generation and distribution, always dreamt of upgrading her skill-sets with a Masters. She believed that the knowledge gained from ‘going back to school’ would equip her with the necessary knowledge to take on more responsibilities, champion more causes for the company and ultimately advance in her professional career.

“I have always wanted to take up a post-graduate programme in International Finance and will definitely find ways to pursue it one day." She said.

However, due to her busy schedule, she was unable to find the time to pursue her dream as most reputable universities required her to attend classes on campus.

Finally, her prayers were answered when she signed up with PurpleTrain.com to embark on the University of Wales’ Master of Science programme in International Finance.

With PurpleTrain.com, she is given the flexibility to study a reputable programme at her own pace and time, and at the comfort at her own office or home.

“Now, I create my own study schedule and I can work around the demands of my work and personal activities. In the process of juggling all my commitments, I have also learnt to be a more responsible and disciplined person.”

She also found the scheduled online chat sessions and individual assignments given to her extremely helpful as it gives her the opportunity to share ideas with her fellow students around the world.

“Communicating with fellow students around the world has provided me with a bird’s eye view of issues and developments happening in the global financial landscape. I am only at my second module and I have already gathered so much knowledge that is applicable to my job. Without a doubt, I am confident that not only will I graduate with a Masters in International Finance, but also be equipped with the global mind-set required to head a Finance and Accounting Department of a global company.”

Despite a hectic schedule working and studying, Trinity still finds the time to paint and read Harry Potter books.

This young apprentice of the school of PurpleTrain.com has definitely what is takes to overcome the challenges. We, at PurpleTrain.com would like to wish her all the best as she takes on the dangers abound in her adventures.
