MEET ALIYA MSC POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY AND COACHING PSYCHOLOGY

While she was an undergraduate, Aliya discovered her entrepreneurial side and started a mentoring business. To make it a success after graduating, she realised she needed a specialist master’s qualification to boost her expertise and she found the perfect fit at the University of East London.

Taking her next step

Aliya wanted to find a course that combined coaching skills and psychology to help her grow her business. She discovered our MSc Positive Psychology and Coaching – one of the only courses of its kind in the world.

From side hustle to success

Aliya’s business, Mentor Liiyah, helps young people with personal development, relationships and meditation. In her spare time, she runs a non-profit organisation that supports young people between 13 and 18. Aliya is now part of our growing alumni community making a difference in the world. Looking to the future, she wants to use her advanced qualification to find opportunities in Europe and the rest of the world further afield.
