"A winner is a dreamer who never gives up" (Nelson Mandela).
I had a dream, and today I realise that my dream has come true, thanks to the IGC MBA program.
Studying at IGC was a very rewarding experience. I acquired valuable skills from experienced and innovative lecturers. I developed intercultural competence and gained practical insights through visits of different companies in Germany and of European Institutions in Luxembourg. This MBA program was a perfect fit for me; I received the Best Student Award 2016/2017 for outstanding performance in the EAM MBA program. IGC offered me the opportunity to transform my career. Since 2018, I am working at the International Trade Centre (ITC), the joint agency of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the United Nations (UN) in Geneva, Switzerland. My vision is to develop further and to give back to IGC by empowering Junior MBA Students. I completed several certifications in project management; I am part of the United Nations Mentoring programme and the International Trade Centre Mentoring Programme for Women to continue learning from experienced Mentors.

Attending the EAM program at IGC has been one of the best decisions I have made in my life, the EAM program and the professors teaching it have helped me grow both personally and professionally. The classes I attended were designed to encourage critical thinking and analysis, in addition to teaching me key managerial skills it also helped me develop an understanding about data gathering, methodical analysis and decision making processes. Having said that EAM at IGC taught me that there is more to MBA than frameworks and methodologies, it taught me how to understand my weaknesses before I can manage others, and it gave me the tools I would require to succeed in my field of work. With the help and support of my professors I have successfully completed the EAM program in 18 months, I am now working as a Project Manager at RetroBrain R&D in Hamburg, and we specialize in providing preventative and therapeutic video game experience for the elderly in our community.

I enrolled in the European / Asian Management MBA programme at Hochschule Bremen, to enhance my knowledge in management. I learned the fundamentals of business administration for which I am very much obliged to the respectable lecturers during my studies. I am pleased to also improve my skills in Communication Management as well as Cultural Management that created an extraordinary difference in my business life. With the diverse contribution of those skills, I was able to obtain my current position as a Planning Manager at Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam. I can now scrutinize the challenges better and can envisage my future career path with my new vision. I learned a lot and can honestly say that EAM is a fantastic programme that changed my whole perspective in life.
