Kari Moe Jacobsen : “The ISM PhD program has been a significant source to professional and personal growth for me. The many international locations of the different courses makes the program very diverse and relevant. The Shanghai program was a very valuable learning experience for me. Equally important is the group of fellow students, who represent a range of different countries and continents, as well as professional backgrounds. Combining the opportunity to study at different locations with the ability to meet fellow students with different perspectives has significantly broadened my horizon. The possibility of studying a PhD program part time was also a key reason why I chose ISM, and it has fulfilled my expectations.
