My SolBridge Experience: Bryan Orone Paul MBA Graduate from Uganda
Bryan Orone
Paul from Uganda, a recent MBA graduate at SolBridge and one of the winners of the
Woosong Global Scholarship Award shares his student experience.
“In January
of 2016, I applied for the spring intake at SolBridge International School of
Business and I was successfully admitted with a 50% tuition scholarships which
I raised up to 70% and maintained until graduation.
Although
studying in Korea was challenging at the start, it took me a very short time to
adjust. The faculty members at SolBridge are highly experienced and were very
helpful which made the learning experience more productive and pleasurable. The
facilities in place also enabled all the students to feel at home and also
provided an opportunity for the faculty and staff to convey the message
efficiently.
Korea is a
highly industrialized economy which gives an opportunity for students to get
part-time jobs on and off campus. I was able to get a part-time job during
summer break where I gained invaluable experience in an international working
environment.
At
SolBridge, more than 52 nationalities are represented which is an opportunity
to prepare students to work in a multi-cultural environment in the wake of
globalization. This is what employers are looking for in the global
marketplace- Managers who can embrace diversity and use it as an opportunity to
create positive change in the global economy.
Depending on
your grades one can earn up to 100% scholarship on tuition. The Korean society
is very keen on developing human resources as it is the only natural resource
they have and earnestly seek to develop. Human resource has been the backbone
of the Korean Economy, and the quality of support and funding into the
education sector is one of the factors that has driven their economy to the
heights that it has recorded.
I would personally vouch for education in Korea (the home of the world’s biggest brands like Hyundai-Kia, LG, Daewoo and Samsung to mention but a few) and specifically SolBridge International School of Business. I am grateful for the opportunity I got to study at SolBridge.”
