Hripsime Arakelyan (Armenia), Cohort A (2012-2014)
It is not a bad idea to study abroad, but choosing the right host country is probably the most important decision that needs to be made. It will not only affect the course of your personal and professional life for many, many years, but you will also be introduced to a new culture, a new way of life, and new people. Almost as important as the academic advantages of an international education are the chances it offers to experience life abroad.Studying at the program MSc. in Global Finance is an amazing experience. It is unique from the personal as well as academic point of view. Being for a few months in an international environment was the best opportunity to establish intercultural contacts, have a valuable insight into a different culture, learn a language and grow as a person.
