Mr. Falk (from Sweden, part-time online MBA program) talked about how GLOBIS will help him achieve his goals, based on his experience taking a single-course student program before enrolling.
“My purpose in enrolling at GLOBIS was to gain the knowledge I lacked, and more than that, to improve my leadership, teamwork, and
communication skills.More than anything, I wanted to become a part of this wonderful community and build a network of people. I thought. Even in the short period of time I attended, several courses I took as an undergraduate improved my perspective and approach to work. I feel that my studies at GLOBIS have enabled me to integrate my technical background with business, leadership, and management skills. I would like to grow by gaining more experience after entering the
university.”
Finally, Yumiko Onishi (from Japan, enrolled in the part-time online MBA program) emphasized that despite the differences among the students, the goal of learning and growth unites them.
“Although each person’s aspirations are different, there are some things they have in common: the desire to gain practical knowledge and new perspectives, expand their networks, and improve themselves and pursue their dreams.”
