Egypt

BSc (Hons) Applied Business Computing (Top-up)

Abdelmoniem Hassan applied to Sunderland as the course had the right combination of business and computing that he needed to further his career. Now, Hassan is one of the youngest members of Microsoft’s team, tasked with helping to transform how business is done in Egypt.

I am working in the field of Support Delivery Management at Microsoft, moving our customers to the cloud in addition to planning with customers how I can help them reach their business goals. I applied to Sunderland as the course had the right combination of business and computing that I needed to further my career.

I needed a solid understanding of technology, and business skills to organise, operate and manage systems. Studying in the UK taught me a lot. I learned to manage my time, and how I studied. It really gave me the skills to be able to fit into different roles in a multinational company.

What I learned at Sunderland is that you need to collaborate and network to succeed, and that technology is the future. I believe now that I can learn anything."
