My name is Elva, and I’m from Taiwan. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in English Language and Literature from Soochow University. I will soon begin a dual degree program between NSYSU and KEDGE Business School in France. This program offers the opportunity to complete a master’s degree, including the thesis, within just one year. For students with limited time and resources, it is an efficient and cost-effective option. By paying only the tuition at NSYSU, we gain access to international education and cross-border academic experience, both of which are valuable assets for future career competitiveness. Every course in the IBMBA program includes both individual and group presentations, encouraging me to collaborate with classmates from around the world. Through discussions, teamwork, and navigating cultural differences, I have learned how to build mutual understanding across diverse backgrounds and enhance my problem-solving skills. These real-world intercultural experiences are truly enriching and unique to this program. Located in the scenic Sizihwan area of Kaohsiung, NSYSU offers classrooms with breathtaking ocean views. I enjoy sunny weather, clear blue skies, and watching sunsets after class and I find studying here especially inspiring. Life in Kaohsiung is relaxed and affordable compared to larger cities like Taipei. From delicious local food at reasonable prices to wide roads and warm-hearted locals, the city provides an ideal environment for student life. Although internship opportunities in southern Taiwan may be fewer than in the north, many students still successfully balance their studies and internships. The Asia New Bay Area, Software Park, and Nanzih Technology Park are rapidly developing, creating more opportunities for students in the region. I highly recommend the IBMBA program to students with international aspirations. It is an excellent choice for those seeking a high-quality dual degree at a reasonable cost. If you are considering applying, I encourage you to strengthen your English skills in advance. This will help you interact more confidently with international peers and navigate the coursework with ease. Choosing IBMBA has been one of the best decisions I have made, and I look forward to seeing more dreamers join this exciting global journey.
