The XXXX Faculty of Management at XXXX University is my first choice for earning my master's degree in business with a focus on Marketing and Advertising; primarily because of its sheer excellence; and the vast professional, cultural, and intellectual resources of XXXX, research institutions, etc. My own special research interests lie in the overlap between business and educational administration and educational psychology, on the one hand, and multicultural and multilingual education on the other.
I have been helping at a migrant workers school for the last couple of years here in America, teaching English classes and managing school visitors and potential donors. Born in China, I moved to New Zealand when I was 16 years old and stayed there for the next 6 years – which did wonders for my English. It was not long after my return that I left again, for more extensive time studying abroad, in Japan as well as the USA. While my Japanese is not as good as my English, I am pleased to continue to make progress in this language since it is important to my career and my long-term goals in international business development with a focus on Canada and Southeast Asia.
It would be a particular honour for me to study at XXXX under Professors XXXX and XXXX – who both run research centres at XXXX. Professor XXXX’s AME Centre, studying achievement and setting along with motivation as target, especially aroused my curiosity. I am currently working with multi-national, elite students in China and becoming adept at working towards the successful resolution of their issues. I face difficult challenges every day stemming from poor student motivation, often dealing with unachievable goals; procrastination is especially common. As elite students, my students do better than average with self-regulation and goal setting. Therefore, I am very eager to develop my knowledge in how to motivate and assist them with reasonable goal setting in post-secondary institutions characterized by elevated levels of diversity. Professor XXXX’s focus is to promote social inclusion, and I am most excited about taking a class from her as well. I have experience promoting and building positive community among students from diverse cultures and backgrounds, working ceaselessly to cultivate tolerance for differences in a wide number of different areas and arising from a similarly broad variety of factors: religions, disabilities, and LGBTQ, etc.
XXXX is a dream city for me, since I love diversity, multilingual settings, and I could not be happier to have such a marvelous opportunity to improve my French. I am a huge fan of the Arts and cultural events, XXXX is perfect for me in many ways, since it is also famous for having a vibrant arts scene. I see earning my MBA at XXXX as the optimal springboard preparing me for maximum performance in a growing, increasingly globalized, higher education industry.
Several factors are resulting in momentous changes in Chinese educational systems and norms, with more students being able to afford to pursue a post-secondary degree in another country. Online courses as well, are also revolutionizing our educational systems, shaking up the dynamics of many areas, the faculty, student affairs and administration, giving rise to novel issues that must be resolved daily. Greater foresight will be needed in the future, along with multi-national, multilingual professionals with advanced degree in business and education who are able to develop new systems based on the evolving needs of new generations of students who are setting out to get an education in rapidly changing, business contexts. I have spent my adolescence and young adult years in multilingual and multicultural communities, and I am pleased to have developed an advanced familiarity with North American culture and educational systems. This comes from my varied experience studying, working, and managing several international education institutes. I would like to develop further research on how to empower students and develop students’ leadership skills and interests, particularly in the context of multi-cultural education.
In addition to the core curriculum of XXXX’s MBA Program, I also look forward to studying counselling psychology, student affairs and school administration as well as teaching and curriculum design, preparing myself to give my all to every aspect of the operation of a multicultural educational institute. Earning my master's degree and the ongoing experience as an international student will help to prepare me for a highly productive, professional lifetime assisting not only international students studying in China or who wish to study in China, but also Chinese students seeking education overseas. At some point in my career, I see myself becoming a senior-level manager of a school administration team, ideally the Dean of Students. I keenly look forward to a lifetime of service helping and advising students on academic and career decisions.
I have more than 10 years of professional experience in higher and adult education industries; thus, I am adept at relating theory to practical experience. I want to grow along with our exciting, global, education industry as it expands and develops, always giving my all to helping students to make the right decisions at critical moments in their lives that will determine the shape of their future. A patient listener, I truly very much enjoy helping others and making them feel comfortable seeking my advice. I look forward to sharing some of my firsthand experiences of learning and living overseas, as examples to help other students adjust to cultural differences in new environments. My long-term goal is to someday begin my own consulting business focused on the preparation of Chinese students prior to their advanced education abroad. I am seeking the MBA because I see business as the goal of education, at least in terms of economic development and the search for prosperity. I believe that in today’s world, Education is also Business, and it must be the business of us all.
I thank you for considering my application to the MBA Program at XXXX University.
