CEMS MSc in International Management
Class of 2023
The CEMS MIM degree provided me with invaluable global experiences, paving the way for my journey to become an international leader. I consider it a privilege to have been part of a global alliance that fostered continuous learning, extending beyond lectures to include local and global seminars, forums, and social events. This exceptional opportunity allowed me to connect with bright individuals from around the world and collaborate on various challenges.
First and foremost, the CEMS curriculum provided me the ability to embrace different perspectives within our interconnected world. Recognizing the importance of considering global developments and their impact on the status quo is essential for aspiring international leaders. Through CEMS, I gained a comprehensive understanding of these interconnected dynamics. Secondly, CEMS significantly enhanced my adaptability and agility in the face of change. Relocating to another country and establishing a life there as a student presented its challenges. However, over time, I adapted to this new environment, thanks to the support of the CEMS community and the exciting opportunities it provided. Embracing change became empowering, and I learned to act swiftly and effectively when confronted with new circumstances. Thirdly, I had the privilege of engaging with remarkable individuals who possessed diverse experiences. Our enlightening conversations expanded my way of thinking and broadened my horizons. As I reflect on this transformative journey, I am confident that I have evolved into a socially responsible and culturally competent leader ready to contribute meaningfully to the world. The CEMS MIM degree has equipped me with the necessary skills, experiences, and mindset to navigate the global landscape and make a positive impact.
The memories of this remarkable experience in a diverse, multicultural environment will stay with me. I was inspired by the stories and experiences that motivated me to pursue my objectives. It was a combination of hard work and enjoyment. Notably, I formed lasting friendships with people from around the globe. Immersing myself in Barcelona’s vibrant culture was truly enriching. Moreover, the exceptional educational opportunities and social events offered by both Koç University Graduate School of Business and ESADE Business School left a lasting impression on me.
