An audience with Mary da Silva
HR Management Executive
I studied HRM at UEL between 2012 and 2015, intentionally choosing HR. Studying HR at UEL was, without a doubt, one of my best decisions. Less than a decade later, I am enjoying an excellent trajectory that speaks to the outstanding lecturers I had at UEL and some fantastic leaders I have been fortunate to serve under since graduating. I attended UEL as a 'mature student'. I initially enrolled to study another course as a part-time student in the 2011 academic year, working compressed hours in my Local Government job. I had 'done’ life, was married and had a 10-month-old son. That proved a blessing in many ways, as my son, especially the desire to make him proud, was the driving force that influenced my approach to my studies. Staying close to home in Stratford was non-negotiable, and I chose UEL after attending an open day at another London university. The reception at UEL was more warm and welcoming. The support and quality teaching that followed justified that initial decision and impression I had of UEL.
