China holds a unique position among the world's leading study destinations, offering a distinctive culture and business environment. Students who learn in Beijing, China's capital city, gain a wide variety of opportunities as they navigate their MBA lives within a key hub of commerce and government. 

So what does the life of an MBA student in Beijing look like? 

In this video, we hear from three students from different regions across the globe who are currently enrolled in the Global MBA program at Peking University Guanghua School of Management. 

Charaf Senhadji, from Algeria, formerly spent time working for the Algerian Space Agency before completing a PhD in Beijing, where she pursued her passion for China. She enrolled in the PKU Guanghua MBA to expand her perspective and gain new business insights. 

For Megan J Y Huang, who grew up in the US, she felt studying an MBA in Beijing would expose her to a dynamic market where technological and economic advances are impacting global business.
