Korea University Global MBA's one-year intensive curriculum would minimize career disruptions and achieve highly efficient results in a short time. Besides, Korea University MBA's domestic and international networking has been well established. Korea University Global MBA will be a good choice for those who want to broaden their horizons in life.
I believe the most valuable component of the Global MBA was the opportunity to do a project with top Korean companies. The project itself provided a valuable opportunity for students to experience how business is carried out in Korea/Asia, as well as the exceptional chance to network and establish relationships with managers and executives in the top corporations in the country.
Through Global MBA, I could build up my overall knowledge of economics and management
and think about many things that I had never considered before. I had good experiences by
sharing ideas with classmates from various countries and backgrounds while we learned
from each other and built a solid human network. I believe the Global MBA program can
broaden your horizons, give you a great asset and take you to the next level.
