In the era of rapid globalization, Shanghai Jiao Tong University is committed to cultivating innovative and composite elite talents with global vision, cross - cultural communication skills and outstanding leadership.
This year, we have also welcomed many outstanding international graduate students, and Zheng Wanying, a freshman of the 2024 - level international graduate students, is one of the representatives. She holds a double degree from the National University of Singapore and has obtained a master's and doctoral degree from the University of Oxford. She chose to continue to pursue MBA at Shanghai Jiao Tong University immediately, fulfilling her childhood dream of studying in China.
She has achieved remarkable academic success and chose to continue her studies at SJTU, where she hopes to further expand her academic and business practice horizons through learning.
Zheng Wanying pursued her undergraduate studies at the National University of Singapore, majoring in Chinese and Mathematics. These two seemingly disparate disciplines have provided her with unique insights and profound realizations. She recalled: "The study of Chinese has deepened my understanding of the profound and extensive Chinese culture, especially the philosophy - related courses, which make me think about how to integrate Confucian ideas into modern business concepts." At the same time, Mathematicshas introduced her to the business world, and the professional skills provided her with rigorous logical thinking and accurate financial analysis ability, enabling her to better grasp and optimize core resources in business decision - making.
Her work experience in the field of green finance in the banking industry allows her to skillfully integrate knowledge from both disciplines, dedicating herself to promoting sustainable development and contributing to global change. " Now sustainable development is a topic I’m very concerned about. My work projects include explaining to every employee what Green Finance is, understanding different products, how to use the concept of green finance to guide our customers, and how to help all types of companies to develop. This is also a project that I am very concerned about. Combining my understanding of Chinese culture and my interest in mathematics, plus my current development in the business field, I hope to further explore this field."
During her study at the University of Oxford, Zheng Wanying focused on technology education, and spent four years studying the interaction and learning model in the simulated world. This academic journey gave her a new perspective on the future potential of technology and education. She said, "Although the development of the simulated world may not appear rapidly at present, it has given me a lot of imagination. For example, we can transmit messages in the air, facilitates mutual learning, and transcends geographical boundaries, making it possible to achieve such interactions whether in the UK, China, or Singapore." Although the development of the simulated world is not yet fully mature, its potential in educational innovation is unlimited. She hopes to bring these research ideas back to Singapore and combine them with the needs of business development.
After obtaining the doctoral degree from Oxford, Zheng Wanying has a clear goal for further study. She said that the doctoral research laid a solid academic foundation for her, especially in the field of educational technology. However, for business practice, she is still a new explorer. Zheng Wanying aims to enhance her business acumen and broaden her career horizons through systematic business management studies, and to engage with global peers for mutual learning. Choosing Shanghai Jiao Tong University is her ideal choice to achieve this goal. She frankly said: "Studying in China has always been my childhood dream."
When talking about the reason for choosing the SJTU ASEAN MBA Programme, Zheng Wanying said that going to the top university in China to study has been her long - term wish. Through her undergraduate studies, she has developed a deep admiration for the philosophy, literature, and history of Chinese culture. The opportunity to study at a top - tier university in China and immerse herself in the wisdom is a crucial step to fulfill her dreams. She expects that in the two years of the ASEAN MBA Programme, she will combine advanced management concepts with cultural understanding, bring them back to the workplace and further explore sustainable development and technology education, contributing more profound value to global business and social development.
