Please describe your hometown.

Singapore is a small city-state in Southeast Asia, affectionately known as The Little Red Dot. It is well known for being a cultural melting-pot and a global financial hub.

Among different universities in Japan, why did you choose Global Management at Chuo University?

Having studied Business Management for four years in High School and thouroughly enjoying it, I was set on furthering my studies in this field. Chuo University is not only one of the most prestigious private universities in Tokyo but also offers a business program where I can choose to take classes in English, so the decision was straightforward.

What do you find interesting at GLOMAC?

The variety of classes taught by professors and instructors with experience in their respective fields means that I am always engaged with the content being taught with rarely a dull moment.

What are the challenges of international students in Japan?

The biggest challenge I faced when moving here was finding like-minded individuals to make friends with, especially if you want to join certain hobby or interest groups. It is sometimes difficult to break into Japanese social circles as a foreigner, even with Japanese language abilities.

If you could explain GLOMAC in 3 words, what would they be?

Varied, Equipping, Enriching

What are your study or career plans for the future?

I plan to find a job in Tokyo at a multinational company and am currently applying for long-term internship positions to gain work experience. I hope to be able to apply my knowledge regarding business strategy that I gained at Chuo University to my careeer.

Do you have any advice for international students who think of entering GLOMAC?

If you are considering enrolling in GLOMAC should think about their goals-- if you are interested in working in Japan in the future, GLOMAC is an excellent stepping stone into a career in Japan.
