I am proud to have been chosen for the MBA program sponsored by Tacis and GGSB. My original expectations were very high, and I am happy to say that these expectations have been greatly exceeded on a daily basis. The visiting professors from Grenoble have vast years of experience which they pass on to us with such dedicated enthusiasm and professionalism. The critical knowledge I have received from this most unique educational opportunity will provide me with the tools I will need for my future career.
It is my greatest hope that the relationships which have been planted in this first program will continue to grow over the coming years. Grass roots educational programs such as this one are exactly what are needed here in Moldova to provide the skills necessary to survive in these economically trying times.

The decision to come to the Tacis MBA program was for me either easy or simple. Being an executive director of a computer selling company, I found out about this program and decided to apply for it. I thought that it would add a strong economic background to my technical education.
The result was better than I expected. The program structure and the professors are very well combined in order to improve managerial skills to the students. It certainly changed the person who came to the program. I began to think deeper, to develop analytic skills and to gain a lot of practical skills.
I intend to apply the knowledge and experience I have received in my future career. I'm sure that this program is the best choice for the persons who are looking for a career in management and entrepreneurship.

Perhaps, my vision of the European MBA programme differs slightly from the rest, as I am a foreign student from St. Petersburg. The experience of studying and living in Chisinau is as double difficult for me as it is double rewarding. The word that best reflects my feelings is 'NEW'. First of all, living in a foreign country is a real trial of a person's maturity and independence. It's always in my mind: how to establish a new daily routine, succeed in studies, make new friends and turn my life into interesting and eventful one. Then, my background is far from being linked with economy. I graduated from the Philological department of St. Petersburg University and was planning my future career as interpreter and teacher. And then suddenly this MBA programme gripped my attention "Why not try?" Willingness to learn has always been one of my fortes. I strongly believe it's one of the crucial factors for my success in life. And as a bottom line, all I can say is: 'I am a brand-new girl now'
