Erblina came to Germany in 2020 from Shtime, a small city in Kosovo, to study Strategic Marketing Management. “I remember the first day I came to ISM. From the main train station in Munich until I arrived at ISM, I was very emotional, stressed and happy because my new adventure began and I was asking myself if I am ready for it.” Since then, Erblina has made many friends, collected expert marketing knowledge and has successfully finished her Master’s degree. “Several of my classes, internships and different projects have tied into real world examples for my career. I learned a lot of new things that have prepared me for the future.”
Starting your studies in a foreign country can be a challenge – but a challenge that Erblina welcomed and that has taught her a lot: “I had a lot of people who believed and supported me during the studies and I think I am who I am now because in this life if you are surrounded by positive persons who believe in you, no matter the obstacles you'll have in the road, everything will be easier.”
