Student Testimonial
"I earned my Master's degree at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) and continued my PhD here because UNNC was an excellent platform for empowering students to chase their dreams.
At UNNC, many supervisors are very open-minded and supportive. Taking my personal experience as an example, I first followed my supervisor's research path. However, after two months, I thought it might not lead me toward the direction of studies I was passionate about. I explained this to my supervisor and switched to my new proposal, which I'm working on now.
Furthermore, I've benefited from UNNC's vast network. I can connect with other renowned international scholars and get the opportunity to attend seminars and workshops in person or online.
With the recommendation of my supervisor, I was allowed to get involved in global professional associations such as the Association of Information Systems (AIS). Last year, I was successfully listed in the first student cohort of the AIS Entrepreneurial Innovation Fellowship Programme. I am proud to say that I was the only student in Asia to be selected for this programme. With the support of AIS, I've been able to attend conferences and summits in many different cities and countries.
The university provides us with dedicated labs, equipment and facilities to advance our research and enhance our learning experience at UNNC. We use the Digital Business & Analytics Lab (DBA Lab) at the Business School in teaching sessions, allowing us to do complicated calculations, business simulations, etc. We also have access to a dedicated server to process data much faster than on our own computers.
Benefiting from UNNC's excellent research platform, my papers have been published in major conferences in my field, such as ICIS (International Conference on Information Systems), AMCIS (Americas Conference on Information Systems), and PACIS (Pacific Asia Conference on Information Systems).
Furthermore, the campus at UNNC is very accommodating and quite friendly to international students. You can easily find food that suits your taste in the many canteens and restaurants on the campus. Ningbo is a beautiful, fast-developing city with many tourist places and entertainment activities. Transportation around the city is very convenient, with many subway stations (with many more to come) and buses reaching every part of the city. The city is also foreigner-friendly, as you will find many signs in Chinese and English on the road and the buses or subways.
I am deeply grateful for the experiences and opportunities UNNC has provided me.”
