Student Testimonials
This is Ray from GHRM MBA, National Sun Yat-sen University. Before joining the GHRM program, I had worked in the international education field for five to six years. Over time, my role gradually shifted from an executor to someone more deeply involved in planning and coordination. Through collaborating with teams, supporting both local and international teachers, and leading projects, I began to realize how critical people management is to organizational success, and also how much I still had to learn. That realization led me to choose GHRM.
Hi, I am Tiffany. I have lived in Kaohsiung all my life. The reason why I chose the IBMBA program in NSYSU is because of its profuse learning resources. (And also because I majored in English) After entering this program, I am available to know people with diverse cultural backgrounds and have opportunities to collaborate with them in multiple group projects. Though sometimes I feel like I am not outgoing enough to socialize with others, it's still a chance to push myself harder. For example, when I am invited to have dinner with new friends (even if they are foreigners), I usually don’t refuse them.
Hi everyone, this is Nicole speaking. After finishing my bachelor’s degree at NSYSU, I decided to continue pursuing my master’s degree here as well. There are several reasons why I chose to stay at NSYSU. First of all, Kaohsiung is my hometown. I love everything here—the sun, the food, the sea, and more. Everything here makes me feel connected to Kaohsiung. Basically, Kaohsiung is my comfort zone. What’s more, we have a wonderful school, NSYSU, so there is no reason for me to leave my comfort zone.
Hi, my name is Nguyen Thi Hong Dung. Returning to academia after a few years in the industry was a choice to ‘become something bigger than myself’, and the IBMBA at NSYSU has been the perfect place for that transformation.
My name is Jessica Kuo, and I am currently pursuing my master’s degree in the International Business MBA (IBMBA) program at National Sun Yat-sen University. At the same time, I work in my family’s business as a sales and administrative assistant.

Hi, this is Sophie, I’m currently studying in my first year of the IBMBA program. Choosing IBMBA was motivated by my desire to develop a global perspective and strengthen my business expertise in an international context. The full English-taught courses and diverse learning environment attracted me, as they provide valuable opportunities to enhance both professional knowledge and cross-cultural communication skills.
My name is Bhrandon, and I am originally from Venezuela. My academic and personal journey has taken me across different countries and cultures, ultimately leading me to Taiwan and to the IBMBA program at NSYSU.I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Tourism at the University of Seville in Spain. I chose this field because I wanted a program that combined my interest in international environments with analytical and numerical skills, while also allowing me to make use of my English proficiency. Through the International Mobility Program, I had the opportunity to come to Taiwan as an exchange student for one year. That experience became a turning point in my academic journey. It was my first close contact with Taiwan’s culture
If you had asked me this a few years ago, my answer might have been no. As a flight attendant, I was accustomed to working in a highly standardized and safety-oriented environment. Life had a steady rhythm, and I had long adapted to that routine. However, during a cross-border flight where I encountered diverse cultures, I began to reflect repeatedly: Am I willing to break out of my existing role and truly step into the core of decision-making and management?
The encouraging learning environment motivates me to transform ideas into practical action. For example, in the Business Model Development and Practice of Social Enterprises course, our group developed a business concept that combines intergenerational cooperation with tour guiding in English. The prototype of our project, New Chapter Hub, was well received and supported for further development. Through this experience, I engaged in multicultural teamwork that was both supportive and inspiring, learning extensively from my teammates. The process felt less like a traditional course and more like a real-world entrepreneurial experience.

The IBMBA program at NSYSU offered exactly that and turned out to be one of the most rewarding experiences of my academic journey.
