I chose the MIB program because ...

I’ve always been fascinated by how different cultures interact, how we can better understand one another across borders and how culture deeply shapes who we are as people. Studying in the Netherlands during my undergraduate exchange showed me firsthand how vital cross-cultural connection really is, transforming my perspective and sparking a deep motivation to become a global leader.

In today’s expanding economy, technical expertise alone isn't enough. Building successful global teams requires strong interpersonal abilities, cultural empathy and a genuine appreciation for the diverse values that define us. Studying international business isn't just about cross-border strategy—it provides an essential mindset for conducting yourself thoughtfully, both in global professional environments and in everyday personal life. As a Student Ambassador, I am excited to share my experiences, connect with prospective students, and help foster an inclusive, interconnected community.
