1. Reasons for Choosing the CEMS Global MIM Program

I heard about the CEMS program in Bocconi, my Bachelor university. The thing that was most important for my choice it is that during the program as the name state you get the chance to have a global experience. You not only study in a country different from your home school (that could already be different from the one of your bachelor!), but at the same time you will meet people from all over the world and these two characteristics will make you more interesting in the eyes of companies.

2. Impressions of Term 1 Global MIM at KUBS (Strengths/Curriculum/School Life, etc.)

My first semester in Korea University has been wonderful, the teachers and the people that are managing the program are super nice and smart. The school is really well maintained and the courses given are well balanced between the study of global markets and the Korean one.

On a plus I would say that Seoul and Korea in general are beautiful, everything is super-efficient and the people are always trying to help you.

3. Current location (Which Partner school you at) and life during exchange studies

I am currently in HEC Paris. The university is nice, it is a bit outside of the city so going to visit is not something you can do every day unless you decide to live in Paris and travel from the center for going to lessons. During this semester we have to complete the business project so there are less classes than in KUBS. At the same time the amount of work is balanced out because of the requests from the business project.

The cohort is quite big as we are around 70/80 people. I think one of my favorite event has been the party to celebrate Lunar new year made by HEC Asian association which hundreds of people participated in.

I don’t have many photography of the school but I have some photos from Paris trip we had.

4. Advice for those considering pursuing the CEMS Global MIM program

My suggestion for someone that has the chance of pursuing the CEMS Global MIM program is to definitely take it. I feel like it is a great opportunity of growth and meet motivated people that can inspire and help you understand what your goals during the first steps of career could be.
