The majority of German students who study abroad do so in Austria, the Netherlands or Great Britain. In contrast, young people from Europe and beyond see Germany as an attractive location for gaining international experience. However, this often involves high costs and many students abandon their dream of studying abroad. Fall term 2015/2016 will therefore witness the introduction of a scholarship that provides talented first-year students from overseas the opportunity to study at ISM.
Securing a scholarship to fund her stay has brought Susana Alvarez Osorio a step closer to her desired course at ISM. The 22-year-old Colombian is one of five international students to be awarded an ISM scholarship. The scholarship covers all or, as in Susana’s case, part of the tuition fees. The scholarship holders come from Colombia, India, Bulgaria, Cameroon and Thailand, and will commence their English-language bachelor’s and master’s programs at ISM in September 2015. “Seventy international students enrolled on full-time ISM programes at the start of last year’s winter semester, more than ever before,” explains ISM President Prof. Dr. Ingo Böckenholt. “We certainly wish to support this trend and therefore offer scholarships to hard-working and committed young people who wish to study in Germany.”
Susana went to a German school in Colombia and has already lived in Germany for six months. She is well acquainted with the country and, in particular, the language. Also she is the only one of the five international scholarship holders to enroll on a German-language course. She studied International Business in Colombia, as internationality has always played a major role in her life and she is very passionate about cross-cultural dialogue. The international focus was also a deciding factor in choosing to study at ISM. "Marketing is all about recognizing and satisfying human needs. Our globalized world is bringing countries and people closer together, but a certain level of cultural empathy and specialized knowledge are required to ensure successful communication between different cultures. Therefore, I decided to study M.A Strategic Marketing Management." She hopes the course at ISM will enable her to see things in a new way – methods and marketing strategies, as well as the coexistence of various nationalities. Both professional and personal development is top of the agenda for the young Colombian student and she has no doubt that the adventure of studying abroad will be an extremely rewarding experience.
Tip: The next international scholarships for first-year students will be awarded for the spring term 2016. Application deadline is December 15th, 2015. For more information, please visit www.en.ism.de.
