Jonathan is one of our master students in marketing and Karlstad Business School’s new social media ambassador during his semester abroad.
Jonathan, what made you choose Karlstad Business School for your studies?
– When choosing places to study outside of Denmark, I’ve tried to go to places I didn’t know much about beforehand. I also enjoy spending time outdoors, so when I saw the nature around Karlstad – like Lake Vänern – I thought it would be a great place for me to study.
Tell us about your plans for studying abroad
– I’ll be studying at Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John’s, Canada. I’ll be taking MBA courses and hopefully exploring a bit of Atlantic Canada as well.
What inspired you to study abroad?
– I think studying abroad is an incredible opportunity to experience a different country, make new friends, and challenge yourself both personally and academically. Throughout my studies, I’ve aimed to build an international profile. This includes a semester in the US during my bachelor’s, doing my master’s here at KBS, and most recently attending a summer school programme in Mexico. It’s a mix of this being my last chance to go abroad and wanting to strengthen my CV.
Any future plans you’d like to share?
– My goal is to put my degree to use once I finish my studies. My dream is to work in brand activation, but I’m also interested in marketing for educational institutions — to help others discover the joy of studying abroad or internationally. I probably see myself back in Denmark, or maybe moving to Sweden – if I learn the language.
