Why did you choose to do the MIB programme?
I chose the MIB, after two years of searching for a suitable programme that would catapult my marketability within the international market. Since I’ve started the programme I’ve not only been considered for opportunities not open to me before but I’ve also been able to apply real-life experiences as well as practical knowledge within several key learning areas. It doesn’t hurt that I now also have a better grasp of the Spanish language which I’ve wanted to learn for quite some time.
What is your experience thus far within the programme?
After six months I’ve not only gained extensive knowledge but also experienced personal growth through learning how to apply myself as well as working with others. A Master’s programme definitely also teaches patience and discipline that may or may not have existed previously. This to me is one of the most important benefits of the programme. Professional growth is great but personal growth can potentially affect all areas of your life positively. Arthur Lok Jack has also been extremely in providing additional workshops and extra-curricular activities that are not mandatory parts of the degree programme, but are open to all students. This has also been a great experience and I’ve ensured to take advantage of many of them.
Who should do this programme?
Anyone who is interested in learning about different areas of business can benefit from this programme. Even if the focus is not necessarily on an international arena. The skills and educational benefits can also be applied within a local setting. The international aspect is a bonus.
How has this programme impacted you professionally?
My path has been expanded to include a range of new opportunities since including this programme on my resume. I’ve been considered for several scholarships and am now eligible for additional roles that I had initially been interested in prior. I am also a lot more secure in applying for these roles, since I know I have more of the criteria required to fulfil them.
