Top 3 Application Tips for Chinese Study Abroad Applicants
Share
Due to the large number of applicants from China to business schools abroad, and relatively few top business school programs to choose from, business master’s programs are among the most difficult to apply to across all disciplines. This is especially true for the most popular specializations, such as financial engineering, financial mathematics, business analytics, and finance.
Here are EIC Education’s suggestions for Chinese applicants applying for the most popular business master’s program types abroad.
1. Take the right mix of undergraduate courses to demonstrate your readiness
When choosing your undergraduate courses, in addition to professional core courses, choose mathematics, statistics, and computer courses as much as possible—and try to get good marks.
Moreover, business requires higher language and communication skills, so it is necessary to spend time in student associations, which can demonstrate teamwork, leadership, and communication skills.
2. Establish yourself with internship opportunities
Have a long-term plan and take more scientific research projects or internships each semester, including summer and winter vacations.
For students who want to specialize in finance, go to security firms, investment banks, funds, private equity, etc., and to core positions, such as those in research institutes of investment banking departments. For students majoring in business analysis, go to internet companies, consulting companies, market research companies, and security firms. The same is true for students specializing in financial engineering and financial mathematics—such students can consider positions related to the pricing, risk management, and risk control of financial derivatives.
3. Demonstrate your expertise with research projects
Third, in terms of scientific research projects, they were not emphasized in admissions to business majors in the past. However, with the increasingly fierce competition and better qualifications of applicants, scientific research has become an important factor for excellent students to stand out from the crowd.
In addition to conducting on-campus scientific research with supervisors and professors within the university, students can also participate in remote projects guided by overseas supervisors and professors, or even go abroad as exchange students to do summer research through school or external applications.
There are many research areas that business students can research into, such as shared welfare, sharing economy, financial high-frequency trading, using neural networks or machine learning methods to predict stock prices, etc.
