德国EBS本科双学位项目学习心得
发布时间:03-04-13

 Yaoming He, finance major, School of Economics and Management, Tongji University, Shanghai, China, came to EBS Business School as a dual degree student of Bachelor of Science in General Management International Track in Spring 2011.

In my junior year at Tongji University, Shanghai, without having any specific plan about my future, I took a bold step to pursue a double degree in Germany, so I came here, to EBS Business School, where ultimately I had a wonderful, unforgettable experience for the following a year and a half.

 

EBS lies beside the Rhine River and is located in a beautiful town named OeWi, short for Oestrich-Winkel, part of the Rheingau region that produces huge amount of delicious German white wine that I drink every night before I sleep. EBS is a business school that stands for responsibility, networking, internationality, and excellence. My first day at EBS, I got the chance to witness how international the student body was. Besides the large number of German students on campus, more than 200 exchange students come to EBS each semester. For me, it’s great to get to know people from different backgrounds, understand where they are coming from, and really learn to know how to work with those people since that’s something you will do in the future. Although almost all the courses here are provided in English, learning German, undoubtedly, should be the first thing you need to do before starting your brand new journey at EBS and your life in Germany. International students are given the chance to attend various-level intensive German courses upon their arrival. Plus, orientation accompanied by staff members from the international office will definitely make you feel the first sense of friendliness, warmth, and intimacy provided by this small campus.

 

Living and studying in a small town give you several advantages. First, the convenience of commuting between home and school either by bike or by bus provides you motivation to stay at school or study in the library. Secondly, the proximity between students’ apartments gives you plenty of opportunities to attend house parties in order to maintain close relationships. The friendliness of the local residents also allows you to live a peaceful life and practice your German.

 

Given the world-class faculty, the rigor of curriculum at EBS will equip you with the most cutting-edge knowledge in business, providing you not only with a good foundation of mathematics and business concepts, but also with adequate skill sets that are necessary for job hunting and further graduate studies. I like to work with colleagues, as I believe teamwork creates more value and generates more opportunities than individuals working alone. EBS’s courses not only give you plenty of chances to work with others in group projects, but also give you a hands-on practicum opportunity to attend class at school while doing real business projects in the company.

 

Apart from academics, EBS provides you numerous student resorts and associations that you could participate in at your spare time. Having an outgoing, sociable personality, I enjoy interacting and building new friendships with people all around. Acting as a student representative, I assisted German students to prepare for their stay in China and help incoming exchange students acclimate to their new lives in Germany. While collaborating with German students in group projects and playing basketball with my German fellows, I practiced my German to facilitate my living in Germany. I am crazy about basketball. I played point guard for the basketball team and, as the only Asian player, represented EBS to attend the WHU Euro-masters championship held in Koblenz in 2011. Thanks to my endeavors and sociability, I was honored as the only winner of DAAD Award 2011, with overwhelming nominations from professors, students, and staff members.

 

Additionally, utilizing EBS’s excellent alumni network, the career service center goes above and beyond to help students find internships and land part- and full-time jobs. The proximity to Frankfurt, the European financial hub, is a huge advantage for EBS, because it makes it so easy for professionals from all different industries that operated in Frankfurt to come on campus, providing students with broad opportunities and endless possibilities to network with those big-name future employers. Through the help of our career service center, I secured my first internship in Berlin in the summer of 2011, supporting a German start-up in business development to rapidly expand its global market. Being an entrepreneur isn’t easy. You should have the vision, the courage to risk everything to chase your dream, and the persistence that most of us don’t have because you have to pick yourself up and brush yourself off when things don’t work the first time. EBS has given me all the prerequisites both academically and practically that are highly demanded before I could ultimately establish my own enterprise in the future.

 

“Study Hard, Play Hard.” You are here not only for gaining the edge of being a successful businessperson, but also for enjoying the real dynamic German life. After graduating from EBS in the summer of 2012, I know where my interest lies, I know what I am looking for, and I know the next step I should take. This is Yaoming He, and I am proud of being an EBSer, so will you.
