“I applied to the CMBP for several reasons. As a Chinese studying in Europe, I want to know more about how international business work across different regions and discover new business opportunities. We had the chance to travel and study in different cities in China. It's a great opportunity to learn the diversity of China, which is really important for doing business in that country.
I am 100% recommending the ChinaMed Business Program if you are interested in international business and want to have an unforgettable experience.”
