Oscar Norén was prepared to go the extra mile for a business degree that could help him land the type of job he wanted. In fact, the Swede travelled nearly 10,000 miles to join a masters in management course — at the University of Sydney Business School.
“I wanted to do a MiM to improve my overall business acumen but also to give me valuable international experience — which it sure did,” says Norén, who graduated in 2019. “The international cohorts were one of the best experiences during my MiM.” The masters helped him secure a job at food-delivery company Foodora back in Stockholm, where the q-commerce business (“q” stands for quick) is testing home deliveries using robots.
Norén selected Sydney after careful research because it offered a case-based methodology he felt would enhance his learning and career prospects. “Those class discussions and weekly presentations are something I benefit from in my role today,” he says. “I feel comfortable in how to argue my opinion and give recommendations in a structured way, which is crucial for my role.”
