At the end of July 2019, my dream of studying the MBA Dual-degree in NUS flew to Singapore with the plane landing slowly at the Changi Airport, following with a challenging and amazing journey.
NUS, a well-known comprehensive university in the Asia-Pacific region, is the home to elites from all over the world. With the perfect integration of east and west cultures, NUS is keeping to push its teaching and research capabilities to a much higher level. Especially, its market-oriented MBA program ranked 15thin the Financial Times Global MBA Rankings in 2020. Above all, Singapore is a prosperous country with open social surroundings and an enjoyable living environment. All these attractions are corresponding to my career plan perfectly. When I first knew that Guanghua School of Management has a dual-degree program with NUS, I couldn't wait to apply for it right away.
When I began to study the MBA Dual-degree in NUS, I actually experienced its goal to strengthen students’ practical abilities. In addition to interesting and practical cases and presentations, NUS business school often organizes different school-enterprise project, providing us with golden opportunities to gain an in-depth understanding of the current market and establish networks to prepare for future professional development. Fortunately, I was the team leader of the consulting project that aimed at the feasibility study of Eurofins Technologies Logistics Hub in Singapore. I led my team members to do research of its competitors, analyze the market conditions in Singapore, China, India, and Indonesia, shape the management and operation structures, etc. Thanks to our cooperation and dedication, the company was fully satisfied with our report, and now it is trying to apply our suggestions into practice.
Furthermore, we can apply one-to-one mentor services free of charge. The mentors are our alumni, most of them are executives of well-known international companies. My mentor, a vice president of a clean energy corporation, is very enthusiastic and helpful. He shared his experiences with me, which broadened my horizon. Whenever I have difficulty in studying or living, he often gives me advice and guidance patiently in terms of my career plan.
Walking out the classroom, stepping into the University Town, the dormitory in NUS, you will be brought into submission by the various learning and living facilities. Activity rooms, modern self-study buildings, small conference rooms, outdoor study bars, and other relatively adequate learning space, each area can meet the needs of different students, which combine the leisure and studying time together and make life more interesting and colorful. The most memorable scene is the busy libraries, where many students are still learning at 2 or 3 am, it totally interprets the truth that there is nothing can stop our desire for knowledge.
Time always flies, the experience at Guanghua is vivid, which helped me have a redefinition of management and a new understanding of business development. While studying at NUS is enriching my career development.
As Tagore Rabindranath said there are no traces of wings left in the sky, but the birds flew away, but I say that my dream is flying not only flying from Guanghua School of Management to NUS business school but also hanging in Singapore and flying to another climax.
