The GHRM MBA program fits with my main three criteria to study Masters abroad. First, this program is about human resources that teach in the College of Management and can advance my HR career. Second, this degree offers an international student scholarship, which makes it quite reasonable for me. Third, Taiwan is not only from the perspective of Taiwan’s vibrant civil society and robust political system but also from the country’s blend of traditional eastern culture woven into a democratic, modern society. 

Furthermore, NSYSU has a fantastic location for students to study. Apart from its facilities, the mountains and beaches make it unique compared to other universities. In addition, the thesis aids me in improving my research abilities and learning more about the R programming language, which I may use in the People Analytics area. 

Last, the department's support is invaluable. Since I was a campus director of the Hult Prize, the global social business movement, and built it from scratch, the department's officers have been very supportive in terms of connection and finance. Also, while I was an intern, they assisted me in coordinating with the employer and provided me with free insurance for the duration of my internship. As an International student studying abroad, I have a sense of belonging and feel safe by the support from the office.

The moment I heard of Taiwanese scholarships for international students was when I was a sophomore. I always tell myself that I will study in Taiwan one day and it comes true. After I graduated from university in Vietnam for 2 years, I decided to pursue a MOE (Ministry of Education) scholarship for my master’s degree in Taiwan. I’ve searched all information about the country and also the universities ranging from North to South. Taiwan in my eyes is a friendly and wonderful island country. NSYSU is one of the highly recommended universities for majoring in HR – my career path. That’s why I have no hesitation to enroll in the program. More than that, the program is fully taught in English by the professors in HR expertise. I’m also interested in learning Chinese from native Taiwanese teachers. The school offers free classes for international students every semester. It sounds cool to me.

Besides taking courses, I enjoy the activities held by the Student Association of International program (SA) which helps me to expand my network and quickly adapt to the new environment. My classmates and I had a great time at the Halloween party, Upcycle contest, photo contest, and Cultural Festival. All the activities I have joined bring the highlight to my school life and helps me to less suffer from homesickness.

Choosing the GHRM MBA program in NSYSU is a remark in my life and my career path as well. I believe that after I graduate, the career path would be promising.

I first heard about the GHRM MBA program when I was an exchange student at NSYSU. A friend of mine invited me to a recruitment event. Although I did not have many expectations at first, the event convinced me quite fast, and I decided to apply for GHRM MBA after I finish my Bachelor’s studies. When I started studying at NSYSU, I could immediately see some differences from the universities in Czech Republic. The program pays a lot of attention to practical knowledge, so instead of memorising a vast amount of information, we are asked to work on team projects, read research papers or conduct presentations. This way of teaching styles better simulates the real work environment which will benefit us in the future. 

At GHRM MBA, the beautiful campus located beside the sea and surrounded by the mountain, stress-free environment and overall friendliness of staff and professors make it the best conditions for studying the Master degree.

I am also grateful for the free Chinese lessons that NSYSU provides. I can honestly say that I have learned much more in one semester than in a year trying to study on my own. Taiwan is an amazing country with friendly people, beautiful nature, and lively cities. I hope to find a job here, and the knowledge and experience given me by the GHRM program will certainly help me to achieve it.

I would definitely recommend anyone interested in pursuing their degree in Asia to seize this opportunity. But be cautious, once you come to Taiwan, you will probably not want to leave any time soon.

Studying GHRM MBA program gave me the opportunity to better understand how it is to work in a diverse, multicultural group of people with absolutely different backgrounds. Being part of such a distinctive class, helped me further develop my communication skills. I learned more about team and time management, deepened my skills in critical thinking and most importantly gained more experience in conflict management.
I spent a major part of my time studying Chinese and coaching the university dragon boat team. It is my firm belief that your success depends solely on your decision making and I strongly suggest taking extra classes or activities that you – future student - are interested in. I would definitely say that the best predictor of success is conscientiousness. Working on microhabits and integrating them in my daily studies resulted in a timely graduation, fluency in Mandarin Chinese and a good track record to continue broadening my knowledge. Thank you GRHM MBA & NSYSU.

Before joining NSYSU and the GHRM MBA program I was sceptical and did not know what to expect from the content of the program and living so far away from home would be quite a challenge. However, after settling down for a few months I did not regret my choice and it’s been one of the best experience I had so far. Not only are the courses very diverse and new to me, the facilities and activities on campus exceeded my expectations. I was given a wide choice of courses to choose from, so you would only learn what you are interested in. The teaching staff both have experience in teaching and working in Human Resources field and I can feel that they are really dedicated to transmitting what they are passionate about. Moreover, the GHRM MBA office is friendly and eased my process of settling down by giving me advice on what to do, helping me out with my visa application for instance. The people from the office are only one message away and offered me a warm welcome that represents the general ambiance here in NSYSU where everyone is kind and helpful.

My first experience with GHRM MBA program was when I was studying at NSYSU as an exchange student in 2016. At that time I already got to know few friends studying GHRM MBA. Therefore, sometimes when I got curious I asked them about their opinion about this program. For me surprisingly, all of them were quite excited and generally satisfied with their current studies. Usually, I was used to student complaining about their school projects and overwhelming workload. Therefore, I started exploring this program on my own and even before leaving Taiwan I already applied for this program, knowing that I will try to come back. And here I am  : D

The beginning was a bit easier for me, since I was already familiar with the school environment and also knew many people around. But if I had some difficulties, there were always many people in the GHRM MBA and IBMBA office willing to help me with anything. As for the studies alone, it is sometimes very challenging and stressful as well, but at the end of the semester it always feels worthy. Many courses and school projects are based on working in a group, which might be for some people uncomfortable, but after all that’s what HRM is about – dealing with people.

In my opinion, studying abroad always gives you more as for the experiences, language improvements, memories or new friendships, especially when you study in such a chilly place like Taiwan. Therefore, don´t hesitate to join this program! I can guarantee that you won´t regret.

Joining the GHRM MBA program I was not sure what to expect. When I got accepted I did not know a single person. It is almost like the first day of school when you are younger. You see some people already know each other. They are already engaged in conversation and laughing as if they are catching up with an old friend. The people in the GHRM MBA program are very welcoming, and friendly. It did not take long for me to make tons of friends and form relationships that I hope last beyond my time here. Working with my classmates has been one of the best, and most challenging parts of the process. Each class we are given a new set of tasks and challenges that must be overcome. The people in the program are easily the best part of the whole ordeal, but that is not to take away from the academic side of it. I was unfamiliar with the amount of study, and work that goes into creating research articles geared around business concepts. After completion, I will look back fondly at my time here and hope the best for all the staff, professors, and classmates I had the pleasure to interact with.

Bienvenidos a Taiwan! (Welcome to Taiwan) GHRM MBA program at NSYSU is quite new in comparison to others degree, but this doesn’t mean that they don’t have experience in the field. All the professors had a quite long experience in Human Resource; some of them work on big companies or were advisors of the company for some years. Taiwanese and International professors are very open in their experience; they share their thoughts, experience, and give advices or suggestions, which make easier to understand the courses. This degree is taught in English; therefore, it makes it more competitive and more international. Each year, there are many international students that apply for this program, the quota has been higher since it was established. This also makes GRHM MBA as a cultural and language learning environment, such as American’s culture, European’s culture, Latin American’s Culture and Asia’s Culture as well. With all this benefits, I can assure that you can enrich your knowledge, experience and the most important, it creates an international atmosphere. I invite you to join our program!

Tran Song Dang Khoa from Vietnam

Three and a half years working in a life insurance company helped me realize the importance of human resources in any organization. That was the motivation for me to pursue a master’s degree in Taiwan. Among many reputable universities in Taiwan, NSYSU is famous for its MBA programs, especially in human resource management. So I came for the GHRM MBA at NSYSU. A new life in a totally new place overwhelmed me with fun and challenges. A multicultural learning environment, English courses and international friends helped me build communication skills, teamwork and friendships which are very important and useful for my life and work. The professors of GHRM MBA and staff are friendly and supportive. Besides the classes, we had chances to listen to guest speakers, visit companies, and complete projects organized by NSYSU. For students who need a part-time job, there are also many opportunities. The GHRM MBA family is growing and I am proud to be a part of it. I would recommend GHRM MBA at NSYSU to my friends who are looking for a master program, to take the next step in their education, make new friends and experience Taiwan’s rich culture.
