The exchange program promotes cultural and international exposure therefore some of our partner universities do not allow students to return to their home country for the exchange program. Partner universities reserve rights to consult with the government and public health authorities on final decision of exchange program. Should the need arise, there might be an option on remote exchange program. All offering and arrangements of exchange programs are subject to change and availability.

My career goal is to become a successful executive, leading diverse teams and doing cross-border business. Going on an exchange to London complemented my MBA experience and my network in Asia. At LBS, I met many interesting students, including business owners from Africa and the Middle East.

The diversity of people I worked with both inside and outside the classroom empowered me to grow, both as a person and a leader. The experience I gained from this MBA program has been most helpful in my current role as a corporate strategist for a large technology company.
