I graduated with my Bachelor in Economics from Thammasat University, in Bangkok, Thailand. During my studies there I gained different work experience both in my home country and also abroad in the U.K. and the U.S. I was also an exchange student at the University of Reading, in England.
As many of the top schools around the world seem to offer similar programmes, I realised what really makes the difference is the international environment. That is why I wanted to do my Master's degree abroad, meet people from all over the world and exchange experiences and ideas. I wanted to come back to Europe to study and maybe later work. I especially wanted to study in France or in Germany which are the major poles of the European Union.
I searched for information in Thailand where I found out that EDHEC is one of the most prestigious Business Schools in Europe. In addition, EDHEC offers the international environment I was looking for. I was happy that the programme is in English as my knowledge of French was not very good. In fact, EDHEC could give me the chance to improve my French.
I decided to do the Strategic Management programme because it is the one which is closest to my interests and my career plans. It is a broad field that offers many professional opportunities in areas such as the ones I want to work in: Consulting, Media and Advertising. It is a programme that demands a lot of work from students and it is not by chance that it is always high in the European rankings. However, I also believe that it is rewarding for us and brings us valuable knowledge, new skills and enjoyment. When I came here, I found out that the EDHEC MSc programmes' campus is just few meters away from the sea, in Nice, a city famous for its wonderful beaches and great weather.
At the end of the programme I plan to look for a job in the U.K. I want to acquire work experience for 2-3 years, use my creativity and travel as much as possible. After that I plan to go back to Asia. In the meantime I intend to make the most of my time at EDHEC."
