Although science is fun, I got a little bit tired of being isolated for my experiments all day long with the ceaseless desire to communicate with the outer world. In the meantime, I got the opportunity to work at several international exhibitions as a sales assistant in Moscow, Chicago, Hanover, Shenzhen, etc. These business-related international experiences really opened a new world for me. I found it very exciting to constantly challenge myself in the dynamic environment of the business world. Compared with discovering fundamental scientific theories in laboratory, doing business makes me feel the fiery passion much more. During my work experiences in these exhibitions and in a biology company as a sales assistant for three months, I realized that business and management knowledge and practices are important to positions in marketing, sales, and many other departments. So I turned down the offer of New York University’s Master of Biology last year and applied to a business school instead. |
There are plenty of reasons why I decided to join this programme. The curriculum for the first year includes many fundamental courses in management and business field. This is important for me because I haven’t taken any management related courses at university. And the opportunity of having a total one-year internship is another appealing point for me. This joint project will also provide a combined strength of global networks, which is an essential point for a business-world beginner like me. Based on the previous data, the class will represent a variety of nationalities and backgrounds, which will definitely create an advantage of understanding different cultural characteristics.
The courses in the first year will give me a basic understanding of management and business in a diverse and international way. And in the first internship, I hope I could gain some first-hand management and intercultural communication experiences. Besides, I expect to have a clearer career goal during the first-year experience. Overall, I expect the MSc in Management - European Triple Degree – Grande Ecole to be my springboard to start my career with a multinational corporation.
