Alumni Stories

At first, studying in MSM wasn’t easy, but the lecturers, environment, colleagues, and also the way the lecturers teach us help you a lot. At the moment, I can adapt easily and study comfortably. I took one of the majors, Decision Making and Strategic Negotiation and learned a lot of things such as how to make a good decision, be creative and logical when you want to find the right way to get the solutions. These are the three examples that I implement in my job today.

It provides a very demanding path for my future career as an expert, and it is closely related to my career objectives. Furthermore, SBM ITB’s reputation is very promising as one of the best business school in Indonesia, so that joining MSM program which is very affordable is very delightful.

I decided to go to MSM ITB because of many reasons: an awesome learning experience, low cost, industry practitioner instructors and the possibility to improve my ability to do research. Furthermore, I desire to become a lecturer, so I feel MSM ITB is the right choice.

Studying in MSM was not easy as it was academically challenging for me. The learning method and academic rigor from my past experience as a student really helped my development as a lecturer in my current institution. I was taught to be creative when facing a certain problem and the learning environment has always encouraged me to keep a critical mindset when approaching certain matters related to my study. The most fascinating aspect of studying in MSM is the egalitarian approach from almost every lecturer when interacting with students. As students, we were treated as equals, and it really helped our study in MSM.

MSM is program that prioritizes the quality of its graduates. During the lecture, I got much additional knowledge in the field of management, especially marketing management which is my expertise. In addition, I also do a variety of scientific research as well as the chance to be a part-time tutor in SBM ITB Undergraduate Program. It is an experience that I never imagined. In this program, I met lecturers and faculty members who are dedicated and committed to the science and academic life. In addition, I also met some friends coming from various universities and institutions in Indonesia.
