Neda Salahisanandaj - PhD in management

“I am currently doing my PhD in management. Fortunately, my personal experience has allowed me to perceive Management in both the academic world and industry. I believe that having academic proficiency in Management besides my academic knowledge in Engineering and my work experience in various companies would be necessary to become a more successful and effective manager. Therefore, I chose management to quench my thirst for knowledge and fulfil my academic ambition. Additionally, I chose NUIG for its great reputation, its renowned academic excellence, and its honourable faculty. It takes third place nationally and it was awarded the association of MBAs (AMBA) accreditation which is internationally recognized as the global standard for all MBA programs. So I believe that here is the best place that can provide excellent opportunities for studying MBA as well as for the research in the area of my interests. I am a Hardiman research scholarship recipient and I am convinced that the excellent intellectual environment and facilities provided here and the scholarship will enable me to advance my dreams, contributing to both new managerial knowledge generation and the education of the next generation of managerial researchers. From my point of view, the Irish culture is very rich and Galway is amazing so I back Galway.”
