For as long as I can remember, I\u2019ve been dreaming about working abroad and I\u2019m determined to do whatever it takes to make it happen. Besides applying for exchange programmes through SIM GE\u2019s Office of Global Learning, I\u2019ve been thinking about how to improve my chances of scoring a job overseas after graduation. Yes, that\u2019s only going to happen two years down the road, but hey, it never hurts to plan early right?<\/p>\n

One option I\u2019m seriously considering is to study for a Master\u2019s programme. Specifically, a Master\u2019s in International Business programme. What? Study more? I can already hear all the questions. Let me explain the reasons why.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It will give me an international perspective
    <\/b><\/strong>As more businesses expand out of their home countries, they will need the right talent to help them grow. Having an international perspective on economic and business climates upon graduating from the programme, as well as knowledge on cultural and ethical issues will definitely come in handy.   <\/li>\n
  2. It may open more career doors around the world
    <\/b><\/strong>The programme\u2019s modules and assignments cover different aspects of business, like marketing, financial consulting and compliance. This will give me a valuable understanding of how various business units work together and help me craft better strategies, no matter which area I choose to specialise in or which country I choose to work in.\n<\/li>\n
  3. It will feed my ambition
    <\/b><\/strong>Right now, I\u2019m considering the Masters in International Business programme offered either by Grenoble Ecole de Management<\/u><\/a> or <\/span>University of Birmingham<\/u><\/a>. Besides having academic staff who are all experts in their respective fields, both institutions are triple accredited \u2013 AMBA, AACSB and EQUIS \u2013 which is a prestigious honour accorded only to the world\u2019s best business schools. Adding to that, University of Birmingham is also the third most frequently targeted university* among UK\u2019s top employers.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Call me ambitious, but I especially like that both schools will give me access to company visits, professional development workshops and of course, networking opportunities! Already, SIM-Grenoble students have visited companies like Bloomberg and saw how decision makers network for information and ideas.<\/p>\n

    SIM-University of Birmingham students, on the other hand, have gained precious insights on industry trends at the Annual Career Workshop and MSc Industry Night. These are clearly all potential avenues that can enhance my career in the future!<\/p>\n
