“I don’t have a business background. My only experience of the subject before joining LBS was studying business administration at Tsinghua University. Most people who take the Global MiM plan to go into investment banking or consulting, but I want to join a management training scheme at a multinational company. My long-term aim is to launch a venture once I have enough experience. But it’s too early to say what kind of business it will be.”

“I chose the Global MiM to delve into core aspects of business such as finance, accounting and data analysis. The opportunity to study with a diverse group of people while living and working in London and Shanghai – two of the world’s great business centres – was also a major draw."

“Some of my classmates had studied biology or journalism before coming to LBS. One was even a musician. My university degree was in English language and literature, so we all have such unique experiences and come from different backgrounds. Being surrounded by diverse people broadens your horizons and exposes you to new ideas and attitudes. It also boosts your confidence."

“I initially struggled to communicate with people in my study group during the first term of the programme, as I preferred to work alone. In their feedback they said I was too shy, which I’ve taken on board. Now, they can see I’m generally more confident about sharing ideas and expressing my views.”
