Personal statement
I have been working in supply chain and production for more than 12 years, so the Master of Global Trade program is a great chance for me to diversify my knowledge and accelerate my career. I am honored to be selected by the Hinrich Foundation and RMIT University to join this program.
During my scholarship interview, I was impressed with the vision of the Hinrich Foundation to achieve world peace and prosperity through advancing sustainable global trade. It is meaningful for me because we are all looking for world peace. I believe that together we can strengthen relationships between nations and improve people’s lives.
A well-prepared program by the RMIT, the MGT provides a wide range of knowledge about global trade, finance, supply chain, business management system and business strategy. All my lessons from this course will definitely help me to have a broader view and linkage of all functions in my company, and make better decisions in my work.
I will also have a chance to learn from my talented classmates, who all come from different industries and countries. Through class sharing activities, this program will help me gain more knowledge and expand my network outside of my industry.
