"I applied to International Business to learn and experience a new culture while taking part of a project that will have an impact on Norwegian affairs in the future. Previous work done by the committee has impressed me, and I firmly believe in sustainable internationalization. Working towards a common goal in a group composed of students with interdisciplinary educational backgrounds is also something I find both motivating and meaningful."

"There are three main reasons why I joined the IB project: The first is to have the opportunity to challenge my academic skills in a real world project that is very relevant for my future career. Secondly, I want to learn more about international business’ importance for Norwegian companies; in particular, which problems they typically face when making business decisions abroad. My third reason for joining IB is to work with such talented students from different backgrounds, with which I can share perspectives and gain new insight about both business and life."
