- Leicester, England, United Kingdom
We know university is not the end of the road, but rather the beginning. We all have ambitious goals that we all want to emerge successful from. "Learn. Experience. Network" our society aims to stick by this to ensure we can help in supporting your development at the University of Leicester. The Emerging Markets Society is a new established society, with our primary focus being the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) countries. Would I be wrong in saying you all have atleast one item from at least one of these countries? If I am right... you can witness how influential these countries have been to the entire world. The word "Commercial Awareness" is something you will start to hear a lot more often from employers, and that is something we will be providing you with and much more to help develop your employability. If success is something that interests you, and you are looking for a way to develop this, what are you waiting for!
