THE QUESTION I HAVE CHOSEN TO ANSWER

HOW DO YOU FIT IN THE COURSE THAT YOU HAVE CHOSEN AT I.E. UNIVERSITY?

WHY I.E. UNIVERSITY?

THE DUAL DEGREE OPTION

The fact that an option for a dual degree in International Relations and Business Administration was available, is the biggest motivating factor. I always wanted to pursue different courses which is why I have taken Biology, Economics and Business Management as my higher level subjects.

THE WAY OF TEACHING

As a student of the IB diploma, I feel that the open-minded, student based approach of teaching is where I learn best. Therefore making I.E. University on top of my university chart.

THE MULTI-CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT

As I have lived in two completely different countries, I feel I am more open-minded to different cultures. I also believe in a course as international relations, having peers from diverse cultures surrounding you, helps build a stronger understanding of the course.

ENDURETHE UNIVERSITY AS A WHOLE

Currently my sister, Ishwari Sawant, is part of IE university. She has told me only positives about the university’s culture and faculty, which has managed to excite me to be able to study there. Above all, the University’s amazing rankings and recognition also persuaded me to apply.

WHY INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND B.B.A.?

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS INTEREST

I developed my interest for International Relations when I was first introduced to MUNs in the 8th Grade. From then I have attended around 10 Model United Nations’ conferences around India and have also chaired a few of them. The complexity of the world and each country intrigues me and I want to pursue this as my career.

B.B.A.

I have been studying Business since I was a little kid because my dad is a businessman. But when I started studying it in IGCSE, I enjoyed each class and loved how easily it could be incorporated in the present world. Also I believe that the knowledge gathered from B.B.A can always be used in some form or the other.

THE DUAL DEGREE

As mentioned earlier, I have always been the sort of person who would want to study different disciplines and studying completely different courses would be doing exactly what I enjoy. I believe when I like something, I am much more involved in it, and therefore the fact that I would actually enjoy doing this degree is something that motivates me to work harder.
