Preaching the motto of “Live Well, Study Well, and Feel Well.” - Mr. Jha, South Asia Head, University of Wolverhampton

hgfrMr. Braj Bhushan Jha is the South Asia Head of Wolverhampton. On the academic front, he has pursued LLB FROM BVP and PG in digital Marketing from the University of Illinois. He has 13 years of experience in the education industry where he has displayed his mettle in well-known educational platforms.

My penchant for social interaction, leading the student community paved my way in this field

The journey has been interesting so far. While pursuing LL.B., I had never imagined thatI would step in and look after the overseas education field.My love for social interaction and generally assisting people, particularly leading the student community, paved my way in this field. My experience of working in the education domain for over 12 years with various companies like Study Overseas Global, IDP, Times Group, and with numerous overseas universities landed me with the portfolio I am currently handling. Heading the South Asia region for the University of Wolverhampton is a true delight. 

Our plan is to diversify the student base in terms of quality across the South Asia region

We provide more than 500 courses for students at UG and PG levels. This is the biggest advantage of our University that we have to offer for aspiring students from all streams. Our plan is to diversify our student base from across the South Asia region through active partnerships and outreach programs. Our wide network of local overseas education providers and schools and colleges allows us to understand the student pulse and the market trends.Also, I am proud to say that in our University UG numbers are very big. More than 60% of the international students are of UG. This is one reason why we have gained popularity among the crowd. It is worthwhile to mention that our focus is to recruit more quality students.

A good match for a quality student with world-class studies is a big responsibility

I bridge the gap in the students’ quest for overseas education. Making a good match for a quality student with world-class studies is a big responsibility. I, along with my entire admissions team, try to become the best possible support system to help the students. We guide students from course selection to accommodation until the end. We have conducted various seminars and education fairs to meet prospective students and guide them.

The high employability rate is a testament to the efficiency of the University programs

The course curriculum at the University is designed as per the industry standards, which has helped us earn a high employability rate, which in itself is a testament to the efficiency of the University programs. Moreover, we also have several “with internship” courses which are not easily available in the UK Universities. Our “sandwich” and “professional practice” courses are highly popular among students.

The research work at our University is highly remarkable. In the most recent Research Excellence Framework exercise, we achieved our best results to date. Our research was celebrated for its ‘world-leading elements’ across all areas submitted.

We are planning to run campaigns in particular parts of the country which are less explored

We are focusing on diversified students’ recruitment in the field of psychology, E-sports, music, dance and Laws which are less explored in India. We are also planning to run specific campaigns in particular parts of India which are comparatively less explored

Our aim is to provide the best research-oriented programs for Indian students.

Our aim is to provide the best research-oriented programs for Indian students. Additionally, we are also exploring new opportunities to get quality tie-ups with renowned Indian institutions. We are in touch with some institutions for the collaborative research-based system. In the next few years, we are going to establish a robust alumni association of wolves. This also makes our courses very high in demand. Though we have comparatively higher demand of business, Computer Sc and other engineering subjects, like Civil and Mechanical, all the courses are equally sought amongst Indian students,

We make sure a student receives a platform to learn to be equipped with job-ready skills

Our University has invested a handsome amount in the last few years to develop the infrastructure, such as the University Science Park, Knowledge Hub, technology-driven laboratories and a well-equipped library. Our ProQuest ebrary has brought cutting edge technology to our students. For example, our computer design students enjoy a portable Motion Capture suite with access to a dedicated area for motion research. These interactive, modern and well-developed facilities make our University a truly diversified international University. A student not only gains theoretical knowledge, but we ensure we provide them with all platforms where they can apply what they learn and, in the process, become well equipped with job-ready skills. Not only on the knowledge front, but a multi-cultural environment also helps develop the overall character and personality of a student. Above all, our University acts like a family and this is why we welcome all students with the slogan of #JoinThePack

Every day is a new start and a new learning

I was aware of the fact that this one among the rare Universities, which provides a maximum variety of courses at UG and PG level.In my field, every day is a new start and new learning. I am overwhelmed to see the response of Indian students. Sometimes, students start telling me the features of the University which says that the University awareness campaign is reaching the right audience.

The international support system ensures to welcome students from different backgrounds

Our international student support system is very proactive to welcome students from different backgrounds. In fact, one of our student unions, named, well@wolves upholds the motto “LiveWell, StudyWell, and feel well.” Our students are also encouraged to participate in numerous college and community activities which help them in all-round development.
