PIM has a network of educational partnerships with 222 universities around the world and therefore many foreign exchange students come to study here, like ‘Zhang Chin’, a graduate of SIAS University, one of our network universities. He came back today and we will get to know him better.
How did you know PIM?
I watched the Zhengda Variety Show TV program when I was a child, this program was opened by CP Group in China. Firstly, this is my first impression of the CP Group. Because PIM had an exchange program with my undergraduate university, I attended the school exchange student program in my senior year.
How long have you been working here?
I’ve been working here for three months, and I was lucky to get my work permit. My job is in the Chinese Team of International Relations.
Why did you choose to study here?
Because I had an exchange student experience three years ago, that experience was very unforgettable. Classmates here are very nice. Then I tried to learn about the iMBA major, and also applied for a scholarship.
What do you like about PIM?
PIM means Practice Innovation Moral, and uses the Work-based Education model. I like PIM’s young, innovative, and active practice values. My work is in the Chinese Team of International Relations Department, and the main work is to connect with the Chinese universities and enterprises cooperating with PIM or CP All. I also hope to deliver the educational model and spirit of PIM at work.
What about your plan for the future?
For me, the short-term plans hope to complete my iMBA studies smoothly. For the long-term plan, I hope to work at PIM and CP All for the long term.
What do you like the most in Thailand?
I’ve been to Thailand for four months now, and everything goes well and fun besides a boring quarantine life. I have work from Monday to Friday. The weekend is just around nearby malls and supermarkets. Because of Covid-19, it is more often at home, and sometimes I will go to the condo for swimming and exercise. My favorite thing should be Thai food. Because a lot of food is very special to me, and very different from Chinese food, I will try to know their name and eat it.
