2023年2月19日，曼彻斯特大学中国中心为其全球在职MBA在读学生举办了一场线下选修课学习经验分享会。本次活动聚集了2023年度即将参加选修课程的部分同学，旨在通过学生事务团队有关选修课程丰富的背景分享及过往学生选修课的体验分享帮助大家在即将到来的选课环节做足准备。

On 19 Feb 2023, China Centre held an MBA Elective Courses and Overseas Study Experience Sharing session, which was primarily aimed at students taking electives in 2023 terms, hoping that preliminary information sharing could provide students with some expectation of the upcoming electives as well as overseas study experience.

活动伊始，中国中心学生事务团队负责人Penny 简短致辞，欢迎了到访的学生。随后团队为大家分享了过往中国中心学生非常喜爱的几门选修课程的相关背景、内容、要求以及部分学生的课程体验反馈，为选修课的“新玩家们”事先了解课程提供了便捷。

At the beginning, China Centre Student Support team leader Penny Zhou gave a short welcome speech. Then the team selected a few elective courses which were popular among the students to introduce course rationales, structures, assessment methods and tips from previous students who took relevant courses.

学生事务团队也邀请了2022届优秀毕业生吴昊昊先生和2021一月班学生代表周树林先生，为大家分享了他们各自的选修课经历。吴昊昊先生为大家介绍了如何更好地准备各门选修课程、如何与组员更好分工实现团队合作最优化、与教授如何更好互动以及课程期间的有趣故事。周树林先生则从自己过往职业生涯回顾及未来职业发展计划的角度为大家分享了选修三门课程背后的原因。由于工作变动，周树林先生在2022年11月有幸参加了曼彻斯特大学本部新进开设的一门选修课，得以利用项目提供的海外中心选修课程参与权利与来自其它中心的数位同学交流沟通、体验了多元的商业文化，丰富了自己的学习经历。

Two guests were also invited to share their elective courses experience. Mr Haohao Wu, one of our Dec 2022 students awarded with Distinction, took all three electives at China Centre. He shared his learning experience of preparing for the electives, working with group members, interacting with tutors and some interesting stories during the process. Mr Shulin Zhou, Student Representative of Jan 2021 intake, shared with us his career trajectory and the reasons behind his choices of three electives. Due to work relocation, he got the opportunity of travelling abroad during the pandemic (Nov 2022) and luckily attended a brand-new elective in Manchester with students from overseas Centres. His special experience, during the pandemic, of attending workshop at overseas Centres attracted warm responses from the audience. Various questions were raised and answered after the sharing part.

本次活动，一方面作为英国教授团队选修课程信息分享环节的补充，为大家在即将到来的选课环节之前提供了预先了解课程的机会。另一方面，随着国家出入境政策的调整，我们相信未来中国中心将有越来越多的GMBA在读同学选择去到海外中心参加选修课程，今天的分享无疑也让他们对未来的学习更加充满期待！分享结束后，同学们纷纷向学长提问，在互动中加深了对项目课程的了解，相信也对自己未来的选择更加充满信心。

On one hand, the event showed a picture of the popular electives to the students, which could help them with course selections, as a supplementary to the UK academics’ online Elective Information Sessions. On the other hand, with the lifting of the pandemic restrictions, more students showed their interest in travelling to overseas Centres for the attendance of electives workshops. Thus, the experience sharing from someone who did attend workshops abroad could bring them some ideas about what it would be like to attend workshops at overseas Centres.

未来，中国中心学生事务团队将继续完善相关活动议程，帮助大家更好地理解项目、做好选择，祝愿大家MBA学习之旅一路顺畅！

China Centre Student Support team will be continuously working on relevant events, hoping that it could help our students better informed and prepared before electives selection and maximize their experience.
