“I chose to study iMTM because I got a scholarship. But most of all, it is because this program is about modern trade business management, which will be very useful in this era. I found out about PIM when I was back in Myanmar studying high school. Since then, I was eager to study at PIM. After high school, I had the opportunity to study here at PIM, and am honored to be a student at PIM.
The thing why I like this iMTM program is because it is a work-based program. You get to do an internship every year. So we can use what we’ve learned throughout the year on this internship. We not only gain knowledge regarding school lectures, but also experience from the real working field. In this way, we will be well prepared for the obstacles that we will be facing after graduation.
I would tell people like juniors in my school to definitely join our program. Because you get to study and work at the same time. Since PIM is a corporate university, It has collaborated with many companies not only in Thailand but also around the world. So after graduation, you have a lot of chances to work in such big international companies.”

“The main reason why I chose to study here is that the program itself is Work-based Education. I feel like studying theory in class or from a textbook is not enough for us to discover. We need to put it into practice and action. Studying and doing an internship at the same time can give me a lot of experience as well as a chance to put what I learn in class into practice.
For example, you’re learning to swim. However, you can’t only learn how to swim by listening to a coach that you have to swim such and such. If you don’t go or dive into the swimming pool, how can you know if the water is deep or not?
What I like the most about PIM is networking, because PIM is well-known as a networking university. So, it might be very useful and beneficial to have network ties from this university when I apply for a job as I would have many companies to choose from. Also, it’d be easier for me to apply for companies with which they collaborate.”

“The biggest reason that I chose PIM is due to its Work-based Education that allows me to gain real-life experiences. iMTM program teaches us about different skills in the business and retail industry. This program includes various types of projects and case studies for the students to understand how to start up their businesses.
Students get to learn from lecturers and business owner about doing business and practice it at the same time. Lastly, it guides me through innovative ideas and strategies for my start-up business and problem-solution.
I have recommended this school to several juniors and friends. The way I told them is that PIM offers students a Work-based Education and a lot of fun activities for them to build their soft skills. Well, you might face some challenges during their journey, but you will gain a whole new experience. These experiences will give them preparation to be ready after graduation from PIM.”

“My friend and I are interested in international business including retail and start-up business. Then I found some information about the iMTM program in PIM that has a good rank in Work-based Education which lead me to choose PIM and the iMTM program without hesitation. PIM also includes many foreigners like Thai, Cambodian, Laos, Korean, and Bhutanese which help me discover different types of cultures and languages.
I’m happy to study in the iMTM program so far because this program contains real-time internships in retail companies to be more practical. It also provides a clear understanding of how to run a start-up and plan the business strategies for further development. Plus, I like how this program manages to teach us various types of soft and hard skills to use after graduation.
I would recommend PIM to all my friends and juniors to choose this school. Because PIM is a Work-based Education that provides both theory and real-time work for them to face and solve the real-time problem, Therefore, students will know more about how to work in real life and solve all of the complicated problems that happen as their obstacles.”
