I was enthusiastic to upgrade my businessskills and explorenewopportunities. Though it was challenging, but not impossible, and having a study gap, I enrolled in the York University School of Continuing Studies for a Post Graduate Certificate in Business administration. To become a successful entrepreneur I decided to choose Post Graduate Certificate in Digital and Content Marketing.

After a month of college the one question popped into the back of my mind was, did I make a mistake coming to Canada? Is it really worth it?

• Why I chose to restart my schooling?

Having holistic knowledge is an essential need for any human to survive in this fast-paced world. It not only makes you stand-out among your social circle but also gives you a better version of yourself. This is why I planned to restart my studies even after having a successful e-commerce business in auto-parts. I believed the programs provided by universities in Canada would certainly benefit me in expanding my business world-wide and also in the other aspects of life. Let’s see how it actually worked for me!

Join me as I embark on a transformative journey from the vibrant hallways of Seneca College to the scholarly ambiance of York University through the lens of a continuing studies student in Canada.

I am Nashrah and before coming to Canada, I worked in Dubai as a Marketing professional. But one day, I decided that to further enhance my skills I should do my post graduate program in digital marketing. Then one of my friends suggested York University's School of Continuing Studies(SCS) and after my research, I applied for the post graduate certificate program in Digital and Content Marketing. Picking the best university and navigating its particular admissions process was the first difficulty of the journey. Though it was a good practice that forced me outside of my comfort zone, recording myself for admittance first made me nervous as I am an introvert. The anticipation of starting a new chapter in my life filled me with excitement when I received the admission letter.

Are you considering York SCS for enrolling in a program you are interested in? Here is my experience and a piece of advice before you proceed.
