We know that Christmas can be a difficult time for students and it can be isolating as they often live away from home and are studying hard towards final deadlines and exams. To enjoy the festive period, in December 2022, over 40 of our MBA students travelled to York to take in the famous Christmas market and experience more of what the city has to offer.
Exploring the historic town, our students were able to enjoy the Christmas cheer in one of the UK's most festive cities, experiencing restaurants, shops, and attractions all beautifully decorated for the holidays, providing a wonderful winter experience.
Accompanying them on the trip were the MBA leadership team, Sharp Cooper, and Yashar Salamzadeh, who organised the itinerary and travel arrangements to ensure everything went smoothly!
"Christmas can be a lonely time for students who are busy studying for their assessments, or are far away from home. Trips like this provide some welcome downtime and are an important way for staff and students to come together outside of the classroom. A strong social programme is an important feature of the MBA at the University of Sunderland."
