Yael about her experience at the FEB
‘I love to travel, learn languages and explore. In the future, I hope to become an ambassador. It is one of my life goals. I studied two masters at the faculty of Economics and Business Administration of Ghent University. The first master was in Economics with a major in Financial Institutions and Markets and after that I decided to get more expertise in the Financial sector, so I followed the subsequent master in Banking and Finance.
I chose to study in Ghent University because it is well-positioned in the Shanghai ranking. The master programs were fully in English and they were according to my needs. Furthermore, I got the Top Grant scholarship to study here which helped me in the process to get the Visa, insurance, and finding housing in the International dorms.
I could say that here I had a better understanding of what I learned before. It all made sense. The theoretical part was very challenging. I did not expect at the beginning that it would be so hard. You have to study here every day! But I am so grateful for all that I learned and all the experiences that I had here. The professors were so polite and approachable: they really cared about our knowledge.’
