What advice do our current students have?
Who better to ask for the inside track on all things Hult than the students currently living it? Here are three (well, seven) things actual students wish they’d known before #HeadingToHult
Katelyn Fyvie, Master’s in International Marketing, London, Class of 2022, South African
What are the top three tips you would give future students?
“Breathe. Smile. Say hi to someone. The rest will follow.”
What would you do differently?

What are the three things you enjoyed the most about your time at Hult?
“I enjoyed learning about other cultures as well as having a space created for me to be open and ask questions. I also loved just straight up studying. Learning is a privilege, never forget that. 😊”
Tabitha Michael, Master’s in International Marketing, London, Class of 2022, Nigerian
What are the top three tips you would give future students?
“Arrive on campus early. You don’t want to miss out on welcoming events organized by the campus, for you to network with your future colleagues and make friends from the get-go.”
“Do not miss the career events! I cannot emphasize this enough. It is very helpful and will make your job hunting journey easier. You have the career team readily available to help you with one-on-one coaching, mock interviews, and simulations, as well as job fairs and networking events to boost your confidence.”
“Be open-minded. People meet their business partners, besties, dream job referrals, and many more, within this 1-year period, make good use of it, and enjoy it all!”
Was there anything you would do differently?
“I don’t regret anything, but I think if there was anything I could change, it would be ensuring that I arrived to campus early. By the time I arrived, class was on full blast coupled with settling into a new country. It was difficult to manage all at once initially, but I got my feet back after some weeks, and am enjoying every bit of this journey now!”
What are the three things you enjoyed the most about your time at Hult?
“The highly professional and supportive staff. Their emotional intelligence is incredible, and they are always eager to help.”
“The group work. The Future Mindset Challenge was the most challenging project I have ever undertaken. I was stretched! But I loved every minute of the experience because it was useful to my professional growth. It was even better when my team won an award at the end of the challenge. Worth it!”
“I love the social events! I was always looking forward to the next one, ha-ha! Look out for those!”
Armando Coviello, MBA, Dubai, Class of 2022, Italian
What are the top three tips you would give future students?
“Do an Excel course. I studied law and work in the finance sector but never really had an opportunity to properly get into Excel. It’s an essential program—get into it.”
“Get reading! Getting the jump on the main course topics by reading relevant texts and documents is great advice.”
“Go to online events. They’ll help you make new friends and give you a feel for the school you’ve just joined.”
Was there anything you would do differently?
“Not much, it was mostly great! I might have found different accommodation or joined more student sharing groups on social media.”
What are the three things you enjoyed the most about your time at Hult?
“Networking. The lifestyle. My own personal development.”
Mei Hwa Wong, MBA, Boston, Class of 2022, Malaysian
What are the top three tips you would give future students when coming to campus?
“Come with an open mind and be ready to meet different people from all over the world.”
“Don’t forget to stop and smell the flowers—enjoy the process and journey.”
“Bring something from home to cure the homesickness (if any).”
Was there anything you would do differently?
“Do it all over again, perhaps? Seriously though, I’d probably help to organize more events with the cohorts from different programs so we could explore the city together and get to know each other a little bit more.”
What are the three things you enjoyed the most about your time at Hult?
“The lifelong friends I’ve made.”
“The learnings from professors and peers.”
“The opportunities that have been presented to me during my time here.”
