The MA.IB programme is my first choice owing to the uniqueness of this Master of Arts. The number of postgraduate International Business programmes is almost unlimited, but in fact only a few of them give ground for certain expectations.
My personal demands on a Master’s of International Business, include not only English as the language of instruction, but also a study-abroad period.
However, not all the offered International Business degrees fulfil these expectations, for instance, some prefer to teach the main modules in German.

Since I studied in Colombia, the University of Rosario in Bogotá is my first regional preference for my mandatory stay abroad. Although I am familiar with the Colombian culture, I would like to return to this beautiful country, because not only many of my friends are living there, but also some interesting business contacts, for instance the president of the franchise chamber.
Furthermore, the possibility of a double degree and the modules taught in Spanish are a significant bonus. Secondly the Technological Institute of Monterrey in Mexico represents an interesting alternative. Similarly, to the MA.IB, my former university cooperates also with the TEC. Thus, I am well informed about the syllabus and good reputation of this Institute in Latin America. Unfortunately, there is no opportunity to get a double degree, which makes the TEC only my second choice. The third choice is the ESCE Paris, because of the offered major in Export Management and International Trade.
Getting back to the MA.IB in Mainz, the structure of the curriculum is
Studying abroad will be an experience of a lifetime. Going beyond the US Coastlines that I have never crossed will get be valuable life lessons that I must learn to be successful in my future career.

The Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada (2005) challenges Canadian campuses to be more proactive enticing international students with better funding and a coordinated national marketing campaign. Conversely even greater work is needed to encourage Canadian students to venture abroad to study languages, cultures and business in Asian countries. The Foundation publishes a variety of Weekly Bulletins and in-depth reports. (Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada [APFC], 2005)
Management in Practice is a very special module for me because it provides me a chance to study with international friends and study in a diverse environment. After studying for two semesters, I have gradually established cultural awareness and a global mindset which are extremely important when I graduate and start working.
In the last century, the contemporary world has become more globalized than before. There has been a worldwide integration in different fields of life such as economic, political, business, trade, financial, and educational fields. In order to deal with this globalization, students, in all over the world, should be opened to other countries and cultures which exceed the boundary of their nation. Studying abroad, which means leaving the homeland country and pursuing the education in another country ( Dervin&Byron, 2008), could be one of the ways for the students to explore this globalized world. It has been mentioned by the Institute of International Education (IIE) that in the last two decades the number of students studying abroad worldwide has tripled (Lieb, 2016). Should students be more encouraged
In the last several decades, studying abroad has become a popular and exciting part of many students’ educational careers. As Kimberly Gray explains, “Study abroad programs have in recent years become increasingly legitimized as forms of experiential learning.” As programs for studying abroad expand, those debating on whether they should try it or not may ask themselves what is so special about continuing their education in a different country, or how it will impact their future after school. Although some would say studying abroad has few benefits to your future career or life, being immersed in other cultures and studying their languages while going to school can help your professional and personal ventures.
Many Americans believes that going overseas for studies give students unique opportunities for learning which cannot be obtained from home even though they have one of the best education systems (Marcum, 2001). At the same time an increase in internationally recognized degrees has become an important requirement for job application when applying for executive level posts (Townsend and Wan, 2007).

Taking into consideration my foundation and my interests, Masters is next logical step for me. So, I considered Masters Program in International Business at Hult Business School in USA.

Studying in a foreign country has been something I have desired to do since high school. My family’s financial situation has kept our adventures centralized to Ohio. I have never been presented with an opportunity to travel outside of the United States. I knew going abroad in college was my best chance to finally experience a new country and a new culture within my financial needs. Yet, I didn’t just want to go to abroad for a few weeks, I wanted to study abroad for an entire semester. I wanted to immerse myself in an unfamiliar culture. To let go of what I know here and observe from their perspective. Through my program I hope to appreciate the diversity another country has to offer.
