I chose SIGS mainly because of the prestige Tsinghua University has, not only in China, but around the world, and also because of the nature of the program. I am very interested in working with companies and gathering knowledge in and out of the classroom. I chose Shenzhen because I think the city is very vibrant, innovative and modern.

I am extremely excited to be able to combine my passion for languages and previous professional experience here at SIGS. I chose Shenzhen specifically, because of several business trips that I have taken there in the past. Shenzhen gave an impression of a very modern and vibrant city.

Shenzhen might be one of my final destinations, I love the vivid vibe in the city, the endless opportunities for people with a tech-background, not to mention the food delivery ...
