What made you choose GLOBIS for your MBA?

“I work at a global company, and I wanted more business knowledge, leadership skills, and a global mindset. There are two reasons I chose GLOBIS: first, I could develop comprehensive business skills in English, and second,  GLOBIS’s emphasis on kokorozashi, or personal mission.

Before entering GLOBIS, I wondered how to contribute to society, but I didn’t have a clear sense of my kokorozashi. I wanted to clarify this and decide how to make a meaningful impact. That’s why I chose GLOBIS.”

What is your favorite course so far?

“One of my favorite courses is the Global Perspectives course. I had many diverse classmates who shared their opinions about their countries’ issues and challenges from their perspectives. It was challenging, but incredibly meaningful because it helped me gain a much broader perspective on global issues.”

How would you describe your MBA experience?

“I would describe it in one word—confidence. During the journey, there were so many challenges, like balancing life, family, work, and study. But I made it to graduation, and comparing myself before entering GLOBIS, I gained more confidence through this experience.”
