Student success
Nadine Mashingaidze studied at UPIC before progressing to the University of Plymouth to complete BSc (Hons) Business Management (Leadership and HR) and later graduate with MA Human Resource Management. She now works as HR Manager at GA Solicitors in Plymouth, and in January 2022 won a BAME award for being an inspiration in the community.
“After completing my Bachelors, I decided to also study my Masters with the University of Plymouth as the HR course is accredited by the CIPD at Level 7, and I am recognised as an associate member.
“With my degree, I thought I could only stay in a specific field, but I was able to branch out, receive career guidance and understand that I don’t have to be so confined when looking for a job.”
