1. Reasons for Choosing the CEMS Global MIM Program

My intention behind applying for the CEMS Global MIM Program was to experience the rigor of international learning environments, get exposed to varying ways of life, and widen my context and understanding of the global business environments.

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

Life in Seoul is an incredible thing to experience. It’s quite fast-paced with schedules full of interesting and exciting things to do and see. This really frames the educational experience here. There is a lot to learn in a short bit of time, some things are refreshers and some things are totally foreign. I think it’s greatest strength is the incredibly diverse student body, from which I was sharpened by the most.

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

I am currently at The University of Sydney!

My experience in Sydney has been the perfect compliment to my time in South Korea because they are quite opposite in culture, lifestyle, learning environment and curriculum style. I feel like I am getting a very well-rounded year in CEMS as a whole. Life in Sydney moves a lot slower and shops close quite early, action happens early in the day and the focus is on outdoor events and attractions like hiking, beaches, and healthy living. The University is massive and you bump into surprisingly diverse experiences within the classrooms- I am taking a course on Enterprises in China and westward expansion and then an elective with a business-science-fiction focus. However different Seoul and Sydney may be, they both have excellent coffee which makes me very pleased.
