“‘Please describe yourself with an object.’ – interviewed by GLEF program director.
‘A half-filled water bottle, to be filled up with university life for the empty half.’
This conversation marked the beginning of my experience in GLEF.
What distinguishes GLEF is the international exposure.
I would still describe myself with a half-filled water bottle, but with much a larger volume enhanced by GLEF.

“Steve Jobs once said that ‘You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards.’ Looking back, I will never regret joining GLEF, as the programme has offered me way more than what I had ever expected.
The program’s interdisciplinary structure has broadened our horizons significantly.
Therefore, I proudly announce that ‘I am a GLEF alumnus, class of 2018’.”

“This is the beginning of something great.
5 years ago I delightfully accepted the GLEF offer with loads of hopes and expectation ahead of my u-life.
Opportunities happened.
Lots of possibilities are here but study tops them all.
Make no mistakes, no one is destined to succeed without making effort.

“Throughout four years of tertiary education, one of the most important lessons I have learnt is never to limit yourself.
University, however, is a place for you to dream.
GLEF is special, not because it teaches you something that is not taught in other E&F programs, not because it guarantees certain career path or outcome after graduation, but because it is one of a kind.
So dream big and follow your heart.

“The GLEF program provides a rigorous training ground not only for those aiming for a banking career but also for those with a strong interest in research. Interdisciplinary nature of the program allowed me to find my passion through exploring the diverse topics in economics and finance. Aside from professional development, I had a chance to meet with the brightest minds from across the world through this truly global program. Overall, with interdisciplinary structure, strong quantitative training, and supportive community, the program is a critical boost for my career in research and my network of lifelong friends.”
