INTERNATIONAL STUDENT GUIDE 2018 STUDY OPTIONS FOR UNLIMITED CAREER OPPORTUNITIES Katharina Koch GERMANY MASTERS IN STRATEGIC AND INTERNATIONAL MANAGEMENT (DEGGENDORF INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY IN BAVARIA, GERMANY), MBA (LOGISTICS AND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT) SGSM “For me, studying overseas was always a dream – so I’m glad I took the chance. I do recommend the Sydney Graduate School of Management (SGSM) as a learning institution. Studying at SGSM has given me a global perspective. It has given me a big-picture overview of how supply chains work in Australia, as well as in Europe. One day I want to work in a management team, so I see the degree as an investment in my future. The lecturers were from Australia and around the world. Their teaching style balances theory with real- world experience which has helped me to understand how the subject matter translates in practical terms. I’ve enjoyed the internship at Kimberly-Clark. It has helped me understand how everything fits together, and the variables that can affect delivery. Also, the team was young and dynamic, with people from all over the world. It’s been a great experience.” 32 Western Sydney University
