Reasons from A*****************
The East China Normal University master’s program has been developed in close collaboration with the research industry and academic staff, which means thesis subjects, will be relevant, ground-breaking and would also qualify me for a broad range of positions in the business and advanced research industry, especially in all departments of statistics in academia and financial and business industries back in my home country. Hence the two year course structure will allow me sufficient time for creative research in the MSc thesis.
I have chosen to pursue graduate studies at the University because by working under the guidance of distinguished and experienced researchers I am confident of making contribution to improve further researches and human capacity development in the industry both in Ghana and globally. Also the college’s small faculty/student ratio would give each student enough instruction and attention and its outstanding exposure of graduates to the profession, among others will be instrumental in my career formation. I look forward to bringing the knowledge I have acquired over the years to bear in the area of the statistical and research industry; making major advancements in all related area of research and business processes.
