On Wednesday 11th of June, BI Norwegian School of Management and School of Management at FudanUniversity were proud to congratulate 22 Norwegian International Marketing students with their Bachelors in International Marketing in Shanghai.
On Wednesday 11th of June, the fourth BI Norwegian School of Management Bachelor class graduated in Shanghai with their Bachelors in International Marketing. The students who choose to study International Marketing at BI Norwegian School of Management are given the opportunity to study two semesters at multiple universities worldwide in different countries that have agreements with Norway. The students can choose among countries such as Spain, Germany, Singapore, France, Great Britain, Canada and China. In fall 2007, 22 Norwegian International Marketing students arrived in Shanghai to study for a year at FudanUniversity seeking new adventures while finishing their degree.
The students were given an introduction to Chinese language in addition to six other courses covering areas ranging from Chinese Political Economy, Chinese Society and Culture, Fundamental Chinese Law, Marketing Research and Marketing Management, and finally International Business and how to do business in China. Earlier experience has shown that the insight the students gain into industrial and consumer marketing, and the local laws of China has proved very beneficial for them. After a year studying at Fudan University in Shanghai, some of the students have decided to stay and work, while others are going back home to Norway to continue with Master of Science in Marketing. After spending a year in Shanghai many of the students see the opportunities as endless. They have gained valuable insight not only into marketing in general, but also special knowledge in doing business in a different culture where a different set of rules and customs apply. Some of the students also had the opportunity to meet with the President of BI Norwegian School of Management, Prof. Tom Colbjørnsen during his visit to Shanghai, and exchange their experiences from their stay in Shanghai.
This fall a new class consisting of 24 students from BI Norwegian School of Management will arrive in Shanghai. Hopefully their stay will prove just as successful as the previous years.
