What the scholarship meant to me

As someone who had to travel from Vienna to Luxembourg every two weeks, covering flight tickets, hotel stays, and other daily expenses, being granted a full scholarship of €6400 for my masters degree program reduced the financial burden on me, thereby making it possible for me to focus my attention on learning and growing, instead of of worrying about how to get money to pay for my tuition fee alongside other expense.

How the course helped you grow

It’s been a learning curve for me.  I have learnt alot and also refreshed my knowledge, shared experiences and thoughts with not just my course mates but also with the university professors. I have gained confidence and perspective to think more strategically and work more effectively across cultures and borders. 

The course has helped me in identifying my strength, closed some knowledge gaps and areas that I need to improve.

Any message or advice for future applicants

To anyone aspiring to apply for the MISSM and take your career to the next level, I encourage you to do so.

Don’t let distance, financial burden or fear of change hold you back. The beginning might be tough, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  If you’re passionate and committed, this opportunity can really shape your future.
