MBA student wins place on top international programme

Jade Mak, an MBA student at the business school, has beaten international competition to become one of only 25 students globally to win a placement on a celebrated programme at Copenhagen Business School (CBS).

Jade will participate in the Internship in International Entrepreneurship at CBS, and has also been awarded a scholarship to assist with her living expenses. The prestigious programme is one of only a few in Denmark to have been granted elite status by the Danish Ministry of Science and as such attracts international attention from applicants and employers. 

Taking place from September 2009 for four months, the programme includes three weeks of intensive classes followed by working in selected high technology start-up companies. It will also include exams, a company-based consultancy project and an oral defence on the project report.

Originally from Hong Kong, 27-year old Jade chose to do her MBA at Hull University Business School as she wanted to pursue a career in business consultancy. The CBS programme will put her ahead of the crowd when it comes to finding a job in the future.

She says, 'I am very excited about this opportunity. I will be confronted with real-life issues affecting businesses, and have the opportunity to combine academic theories with practical application to help facilitate real changes.

'The programme is one of the best in the world and I am very excited to be involved.'
