Elyor caught up with the team at <a href=\"https:\/\/mastergradschools.com\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mastergradschools.com\/\">MASTERGRADSCHOOLS<\/a> to talk about his experience, sharing his inside knowledge of the ESMT MIM program, his top tips on moving to Berlin, and his advice for prospective students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What were you doing before deciding to study at&nbsp;ESMT Berlin?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After my Bachelor\u2019s I was working for 3 years until I decided that I wanted to further develop my knowledge and network with like-minded individuals. I was also excited to experience something new!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For my Bachelor\u2019s degree, I studied at the&nbsp;Westminster International University in Tashkent, which is the first international university in Uzbekistan. After graduating from my undergraduate degree I joined Asian Development Bank where I was an Economic Researcher for 3 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ct8n--A4DsY\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><br>What is the MIM program?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MIM stands for Masters in Management, at ESMT Berlin it\u2019s a two-year program which consists of a compulsory 6-month internship. During the second year, students are free to choose one of four specializations: Finance &amp; Investments, Business Analytics, Entrepreneurship &amp; Innovation or Global &amp; Digital strategy. The program is taught in English but students come from all around the world to study the MIM at ESMT Berlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><br>How diverse is your MIM Class at&nbsp;ESMT Berlin?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In my class, there are over 100 people from more than 40 different nationalities. It\u2019s amazing to have people from all around the world come together and chase the same goal, to become responsible leaders of the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have become very close with my peers and having this experience in common has been incredible, it\u2019s great to get to know people with shared ideas and interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><br>What should students prepare before moving to&nbsp;Germany?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure you have planned ahead and you\u2019re prepared. It\u2019s always a good idea to prepare any documents you may need in advance, whether that\u2019s your visa or opening a local bank account. My advice would also be to start thinking about where you\u2019re going to live around 5 or 6 months before you arrive in Berlin. Berlin is a big city with a lot of students from all over the world so it can be difficult to find accommodation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is it like to live in Berlin?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Berlin is a very safe city, it\u2019s also a very vibrant and modern city with different sub-cultures. You can find a part of yourself in Berlin \u2013 it\u2019s a city for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Berlin is also a very international city, it\u2019s not essential to speak fluent German \u2013 although it\u2019s always good to have and to know at least a little German. However, it is possible to get away with just speaking English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Any advice for future MIM students?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I know it can be difficult to leave behind your home country and embark on a new journey but personally, I can definitely say that it\u2019s truly worth going and trying out this new path in your life. It will bring a lot of opportunities further down the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This article was <a href=\"https:\/\/mastergradschools.com\/masters-in-management-at-esmt-berlin\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/mastergradschools.com\/masters-in-management-at-esmt-berlin\/\">originally published by MASTERGRADSCHOOLS<\/a> on October 16, 2020, and republished with permission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learn more about the ESMT MIM program <a href=\"https:\/\/esmt.berlin\/degrees\/masters\" data-type=\"URL\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p><span class=\"rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\"><\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\">2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">min read<\/span><\/span> Elyor Mukhamedov hails from Uzbekistan and decided to leave his home country to pursue the Master\u2019s in Management program at ESMT Berlin.
