Meet Jovan Bains
Foundation Degree in Business Management
Meet Jovan Bains, a recent graduate of the Foundation Degree in Business Management at West Herts College.
Jovan chose this course because of its coursework-based structure, which offered greater variety and reduced the pressure of traditional exams. This approach allowed him to engage more fully with his studies while building a strong understanding of business practice.
Throughout the course, Jovan developed valuable transferable skills, particularly time management, as he balanced multiple deadlines. He also strengthened his communication and people skills by working with new classmates and collaborating closely with lecturers.
Reflecting on his graduation, Jovan describes the experience as a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” and encourages others to approach it with an open mind. For Jovan, the journey was about embracing the experience rather than setting expectations, allowing him to grow both academically and personally.
Jovan’s advice to others considering the same path is:
“Go in with an open mind. Don’t set expectations — everyone’s experience is different. Just enjoy it and go with the flow.”
