The University of Mannheim offers a beautiful campus in the wonderful southern city of Mannheim, Germany. Not only does Desautels Faculty of Management have a direct bilateral exchange with the University of Mannheim, but the University of Mannheim boasts the number one business school in Germany, offering “world-class management education”. With the University of Mannheim’s very complete business curriculum, I can fulfill several of my McGill Bachelor of Commerce management core courses as well take more specific business related and other elective courses. I should be able to take Operations Management, Macroeconomic Policy, and Strategic Management from the management core as a minimum during my studies in Mannheim. Additionally, as part of the major in International Management, this exchange to Germany fulfills the international exchange component. Furthermore, I plan to continue my high-level German language education, working towards my German minor, through literature or other interesting courses taught in German at the university. All of these courses will …show more content…
I am certain that by studying abroad at the University of Mannheim I will make many new life-long friendships and connect with another culture in an incredible way. It is also noteworthy that in alignment with my major in International Management, I plan to work for international companies in my future – one such as SAP which is a multinational company headquartered in Germany. Therefore, studying abroad in Germany creates a huge advantage for my future, which likely will involve large companies very probably based or branched in Germany, Canada, or the
Every day, multitudes of things are competing for our attention. Billboards line every street, commercials interrupt every enticing program, and our phones are constantly beckoning us to check them. And no, this is not the beginning of another trite piece of literature that is going to complain about how the growth of advertising and technological innovation is the decline of the human race. In fact, I embrace it. The world is changing, and with so much to be involved in, competition for our attention is healthy and necessary to keep things that we want to see accessible.
Harmonizing business courses with opportunities such as internships and studying abroad at the Smeal College is perhaps the most pivotal way in which I will explore my academic endeavors. The chance for me to major in Risk Management with a concentration in real estate and minor in international business is particularly enticing because I will have the opportunity to learn from situations where I will be forced to think on my feet; the leadership skills that I have learned thus far from National Honor Society and from my real estate internship will allow me to succeed in doing so. Likewise, international travel is a way for me to enhance my knowledge of business on a global scale; by traveling, I will become globally conscious,
Four years ago, I left the shores of Nigeria to pursue a higher education at the University of Ottawa. I know most people when they are younger are not sure of what career path to follow, ye I always knew I wanted to be a lawyer. Ever since I could remember, I have always felt deep compassion towards other human beings. It is disappointing to watch people lose their basic human rights. My program has educated me and changed my worldly views.
The dream of going to college has been present since I remember. However, I lived in a low income household in Spain, and at that time my family was going through a great depression, lack of financial stability, and my parent’s relationship was not at its best; consequently, the idea of having another expense was not a priority for the family, needless to say that college was not an option. Nevertheless, life has given me the opportunity to review my priorities, make new choices and as a result, I decided to pursue a higher education. I became a displaced homemaker after my divorce in 2008 in Washington State, when I decided to move away and start a new life in Colorado. We were only us, my daughter and me.
When I was younger, one of my favorite things to do was to hop in my grandpa’s old, red Chevy pickup and ride down to our family’s farm with him. We would spend all day doing various jobs including scouting crops. Each summer I would spend more time scouting crops with my grandpa. He would share stories about particular growing seasons that he remembered and he shared a vast amount of agronomic knowledge with me. Over time, scouting with my grandpa turned into a passion.
My fascination with various systems of the human body began at an early age, and continues to grow. My natural inclination was always towards Biology, I was hardly 9 years old when I taught myself how to draw the respiratory system and the veno-capillary system. A trait of my personality which I think differentiates me from other applicants is my creativity. Creativity is, in my opinion, a very important characteristic of a good physician, as it is a help during investigation processes and in difficult diagnosis situations
The chance to learn in Germany and have the necessary background to help teach American students about Germany. I don’t intend to stop learning about Germany with this semester abroad but it would help me in getting started
I am not like the typical college student. I migrated to the United States at the age of 12 with my family. Moving to the US at this age was quite challenging; however, it was nothing compared to the challenges I faced growing up in a third world country- India. I remember it vividly; the company that my father worked for shutting down, thus taking away my family’s only source of income.
Fresh eyed, alone and desperate, I came into the United States. My heart desperate and my soul was restless, I had to come to achieve a childhood dream of mine in this land of my longing. A dream of becoming a prominent business leader and owner of a multi-national conglomerate company in Africa, which I believe is now within my reach. My dream of inspiring and building a network of millions for young Africans determined to transform their countries from the hopeless and poor state it is to a one full industry and enterprise. I look forward to gaining skills ranging from, exposure to multicultural events, problem solving skills and international business techniques, that I can make use of after my college experience.
My goal is to work towards a minor in International Business and further my credits required for the CPA exam. By taking classes with the USAC program and building upon my study abroad, this experience will limit the remaining classes necessary at my home university. I hope to learn more about how businesses operate in a global environment, in addition to gaining first-hand experience in dealing with various cultures and diverse ways of
The Bachelor of Business Administration I would like to pursue within your university goes
Every single day of our lives we are surrounded by instances of decision-making that shape our foreseeable future. We choose luxuries disguised as necessities because we have that option. Unfortunately, this was not the case for the majority of my childhood and adolescent life. I was a shy twelve-year old girl who had already changed three schools when I moved to Canada from a third world country. I came from a very underdeveloped background.
From an early age I was interested in science and how this world works, and as I try to understand the human body complexity, I find myself increasingly fascinated by how the various parts of the body are able to work together to produce this great system which we call life. Besides loving science, the art of using our knowledge in helping people, improving their life and relieving their problems made medicine as my dream career. When I began the clinical part of my studying I found myself enjoying each of my rotations, but particularly enjoyed taking care of patients’ core medical problems, and I saw how medicine is great with its Patient interaction, diagnosis challenges, and being able to witness improvement in patients’ conditions. All
Everyone has challenges that can affect their life and aspirations. I find that it is how one internalizes those challenges, how one pushes through those challenges, and how one learns and grows from those challenges that allows one to overcome those challenges so they do not impede personal growth. While I have had a lot of challenges, one challenge was my distaste for writing. The rules were fluid and the answer was not set which confused me when I was younger. This pushed me to focus more on math, as I enjoyed its fixed rules and formulas.
Employability and furthering ones career is a key motive for studying abroad. There is no doubt that studying abroad improves your managerial skills
