Student of MSc Organization Studies
  • 26 years old
  • Study program: MSc Organization Studies
  • Year of graduation: 2010
  • Nationality: Romanian
"I think that the program Organization Studies, track Organization of Cultural Diversity is an extremely interesting and challenging field of study. Secondly, it is a defining characteristic of the contemporary global society. I find the program challenging because there is a lot of information regarding different areas which has to be processed in a short period of time (one semester). Therefore, I dedicate more than 40 hours per week (as many hours as possible in most cases) to studying."
