Reentering the academic sphere with ZIBS, I found myself immersed in insightful dialogues with diverse peers and prominent professors, whose intellect, vision, and journeys were truly enlightening. Through forums, corporate visits, and networking with peers and world-class professionals, I gained invaluable experiences. Professors at the forefront of their fields further enriched the program. The focus on technology and sustainable development (exemplified by ESG and CSR) and their close connection to business made the program both interesting and highly relevant to current and future trends.

The international curriculum of the iMBA provide us with opportunities to mingle with luminaries across industries. Many new concepts are in their infancy, and thinking about how to integrate these concepts with our work to innovate is a subject for each of us to ponder. The past two years have been a journey of education, communication, interaction, and growth, a journey bathed in fortune.
JIN Guang, China
After years of professional experience, I am eager to broaden my career and become a versatile professional with a multi-dimensional mindset. I feel fortunate to study at ZIBS, where I gained clarity about life and work. Two years of study in the iMBA program allowed me to understand corporate operations and management from a fresh perspective.
NAM Kyounghoon, Korea
I work at the National Assembly of South Korea. Through my extensive experience in public service, I’ve realized that policy failures often occur due to public officials’ limited understanding of the private sector and the real economy. I wanted to learn about the decision-making systems and management methods of private companies through the ZIBS iMBA course.
The excellent faculty from diverse backgrounds, creative programs including frequent special lectures, and great classmates from top tech companies, financial institutions, and public corporations exceeded my expectations for this course. Moreover, the International Campus is an ideal setting for building international connections. What I love most about ZIBS is meeting and having enjoyable conversations with friendly and great friends from China and other countries. Another great feature is that the course offers foreign students opportunities to study Chinese. These strengths of ZIBS remind me that it is the perfect place for me.
