At PIM International College, we have students from all over the world. And this is the very first time we were able to welcome our international student from Russia, Valentina Grigoreva, who has been thrilled to transition to the new experience in Thailand and join us here to become part of a truly international and multicultural community with us. Let’s get to know her more!
Why did you choose to study abroad?
“I chose studying abroad because international universities provide higher standards of education and it would be easier in the future to find attractive employment opportunities. Also while studying abroad you can meet a lot of interesting people, learn a new language and know more about another culture, become a part of international and multicultural community.”
How come you chose to study at PIM?
“I chose to study here because it gives me an opportunity of getting Work-based Education that is interesting and it will have me to get a new experience. Also, PIM is the largest Corporate University, under the flagship of CP All Plc., which is a big company so being connected to that gives us knowledge about innovation and business that is very useful.
I think that networking at PIM is developed very well. It gives a chance to visit many places and get not only theory but also practice. And I hope that this university will give me the knowledge and make me a well-qualified international specialist in business.”
What do you like about PIM so far?
“I really like the atmosphere at this university. The building is very big. Everything looks very good. Everything is new and modern. There is a wide range of equipment that students can use for studying. And we saw their training for service on the plane and it’s amazing to know that they have a special shop for training at a restaurant and a hotel. It’s amazing that the university gives such an opportunity to students and provides all of the most modern equipment. It’s hard to find such universities.”
Which part of the iMTM program that you interested in the most?
“I am interested in internships the most. Because it can give an opportunity to get real experience and see how people run businesses in different countries. It’s very interesting to get a new experience here.”
How are your classmates?
“Students in my group are very friendly and helpful. We started communicating not a long time ago but we are like one big family already. Happy to be part of such an interesting and ambitious international team.”
What do you like about Thailand so far?
“It’s my first time in Thailand. I know that Thailand is a country of smiles. It has a lot of different fruits warm climate and I really like Thailand because it’s a very interesting country it’s a unique culture and interesting people are very kind smiling and supportive and very beautiful nature. I really like being here.”

Why do you have confidence in PIM?
“First of all, it’s a decision of our daughter and she took the steps and we support her because in this case, education isn’t restricted to only getting knowledge in a university. She’s learning a new culture and its language and becoming a part of an international and multicultural community. Also, we could say that Russia and Asia are partners today and in the future. And as of now, specialists in this area are in high demand in the business world.
Also, by offering Work-based Education, students will get to apply knowledge from a university and real work experience at a corporate university of a global company, so it will give students knowledge and a real work experience in a business field, such as skills, self-recognition, creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving and time management, which are important in modern life.”
