I applied for the Master of Management because I trust that a renowned institution like Peking University will not only offer fascinating courses but also an environment that facilitates individual and group learning and allows me to emerge myself with different mindsets and cultures, connecting with and learning from other young professionals from all over the world.

Throughout two years, having my independent research while learning from doing diverse assignments make this program the right place for me to tailor a bank of skills, experience, and references, all of which enable me to achieve further career aspirations. Despite the effect of COVID-19, with the help of dedicated professors, kind peers, amazing staff, a top-notch learning facility on campus, and an array of diverse extracurricular activities, I have had an eventful time full of challenges and fond memories.

I applied for the Master of Management in PHBS with a goal to better understand the Chinese economy and immerse myself in the Tech capital of the East which is Shenzhen. I was assured from the beginning that Peking University will be the only place for me to be able to foster and develop myself in China and I felt I made the right choice.

During my studies, I get to meet amazing individuals which helped expand my network to not just across China but to other regions such as Europe and Africa. The diversity within the classes have always been the favorite part of my memory in PHBS. Aside from making friends, I could better understand the diversity of perspectives available especially through the well-crafted cases and assignments that the professors have provided me. My experience has been great throughout and I really cherish my time there!
 

If I were ever asked to pick a highlight of my life to share, it would undoubtedly be the chapter I spent at Peking University. Enrolling in the Master’s in Finance program was more than an academic pursuit—it was an invitation to immerse myself in the heart of China’s dynamic economic ecosystem. The program not only offered a structured and insightful overview of the Chinese economy through the lens of finance, it unlocked opportunities to explore China’s dynamic entrepreneurial spirit, unique financial systems, and regulatory landscape. Guided by experienced professors and enriched by interactions with local businesses, I gained a profound understanding of what it takes to navigate the complexities of doing business in China.
 
Peking University’s cosmopolitan learning environment fostered connections that went far beyond the classroom. I had the privilege of building lasting friendships with young professionals from all over the world, each bringing unique perspectives that expanded my horizons. The emphasis on global collaboration extended seamlessly into the local community and vibrant student body, where I found myself embracing the beauty of Chinese culture—from the endless nights filled with laughter by Mirror Lake, to festive gatherings meticulously organized by PHBS , and memorable sightseeing adventures with my new friends.
 
My time at Peking University left me with a richer, more interconnected view of the world. I highly recommend you to experience this transformative journey for yourself!
