Why did you choose Temple University’s DBMD program? What advantages does DBMD offer you over other graduate programs?
Firstly, it’s my first time trying to dip my toe in living in an English environment, which I used to be scared of. The open-minded feeling of Temple makes me more comfortable to break through my fear. Moreover, Temple’s DBMD program helps me to be more efficient in seeking my degree by pushing myself to learn more in a shorter time.

How has studying abroad for your master’s degree enhanced your skills and experience? 
It gave me chances to contact people from diverse backgrounds and cultures, which helps me to get the perspectives that I have never thought of. And after having courses in both the information technology and management field in my undergraduate school, I realize that I’m more interested in the information technology one. As a result, I could strengthen my knowledge in it in a different education system in this master’s degree program.

What are your career plans? 
I would like to devote myself to technology-related positions, such as data scientist, IT specialist, etc. 

How will Temple help you achieve your career plans?
The CPT/OPT helps international students in starting careers in the United States. And CST holds many events for students to make connections and offer potential opportunities.  Besides, Temple provides students with giving feedback on application documents, and the professional practices of interviews. In sum, Temple has a complete work advising chain for helping students from gaining knowledge to getting the job offers.

Is there anything else you would like to share ?
I’m enjoying immersing myself in this quite good studying environment. And I do feel that Temple concern about our experiences and difficulties. I received prompt help when I needed it, which I’m genuinely grateful for it.
