Episode three – How being part of a like-minded community helped Lamare to fit in and achieve more.

In this podcast, we are joined by Lamare, an MSc Human Resource Management graduate. After studying his undergraduate degree, he realised that to really stand out in his career he needed more.

Studying part-time around his day job was a challenge. But he was also faced with the worry that he might not fit in. That as a black male from a non-traditional family, with little experience of higher education, there would be no one else like him on the course. Fortunately, the people at UWE Bristol were from a mix of cultures and diverse backgrounds, and he had a really positive experience here.

He talks us through the challenges he has overcome and why it was the best decision he ever made.

“I wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn’t studied my master’s at UWE Bristol.” Lamare.
