MBA student in Shanghai
For Niklaus Mueller, China is the place to be; he’s living there for the third time in five years – this time for the MBA programme at the China Europe International Business School.
Like many Swiss of his generation, the 32-year-old is eager to explore the world and use that experience to his advantage.
“I’m very interested in entrepreneurship and innovation, and given the current developments in China, I think it’s one of the most exciting places to be,” explains Mueller, who is originally from Bern.
That excitement extends to Chinese culture, history, and also the language, specifically, Mandarin. Mueller’s language skills come in handy both on campus and while exploring Shanghai and the rest of China.
