“Being surrounded by diverse people broadens your horizons and exposes you
to new ideas and attitudes. It also boosts your confidence.”
Zicong Wang (Chinese), GMiM2018, Analyst, HSBC Commercial Banking

Zicong, who was awarded the Global MiM Scholarship (Fudan) to study at LBS, chose the programme to delve into the
core aspects of business such as finance, accounting and data analysis. The opportunity to study with a diverse group of
people while living and working in London and Shanghai – two of the world’s great business centres – was also a major
draw.

“I don’t have a business background,” she says. Her only experience of the subject before joining LBS was studying
business administration at Tsinghua University. “Most people who take the Global MiM plan to go into investment
banking or consulting, but I want to join a management training scheme at a multinational company. My long-term aim
is to launch a venture once I have enough experience. But it’s too early to say what kind of business it will be.”

During the course of her time at LBS, Zicong drew confidence from being involved in the School’s Marketing Club and
China Club. She attended several events to develop her networking skills and managed communications for the China
Business Forum. Moreover, Zicong met with MBAs from a marketing background to draw on their expertise and expand
her network. Her plan is to have a 10-year corporate career, then to launch her own business.

“The Global MiM pushes your boundaries and stretches your understanding.“
Nina Song (German) GMiM2017, Strategy Manager, WeWork

“In the first year you’re part of an international community that helps you build a global mindset. Your immersion in
Chinese culture in year two gives you invaluable insight and a chance to build real skills on top of the knowledge. A
unique experience. Given that China is now playing such a crucial role in the world economy, I believe the programme
will help me in the future to communicate and negotiate with Chinese counterparts.”
