« After working in Europe for around 2 years, I realized that I wanted to pursue graduate studies. I saw ICM and thought that it was the perfect degree for me to broaden my horizon and enhance my knowledge on interculturality and diversity. I believe that it’s a good stepping stone for my professional goals since I want to work in an international company in the future. »
About Rielle: During my undergrad in the Philippines, I had the chance to go on two exchanges abroad and work for an international organization. I really enjoyed working in an intercultural environment, so after getting my degree in Communication, I applied for my first job as a Language and Culture Assistant in Spain. It was life-changing and I really enjoyed my experience working with people from different cultures. I really enjoy meeting people from different walks of life. I find it very interesting to share experiences and stories. In my free time, I love traveling and going to the beach.

Romée Jager
The Netherlands
« After finishing my studies of International Business and Management in the Netherlands, I wanted to extend my intercultural experiences. Therefore, I was searching for a Master abroad which was more focused on intercultural interactions. ICM provides a different perspective on the things I have been studying before, it extends my knowledge regarding human behavior, and gives me the opportunity to learn in a diverse and intercultural setting. Especially, the thesis, exchange semester, and internship are valuable experiences to take with me into my future career. »
About Romée: After finishing high school, I had my first ‘’big’’ travel adventure and backpacked through Asia. I was fascinated by exploring different cultures and became interested in the influences that culture has on people’s behavior. During this trip I promised myself that I will come back once again to the places I had visited, which led me to studying in Thailand for an exchange semester as part of my Bachelor studies. I am passionate about traveling, sports, politics, and love to organize social events.

« All my life experiences so far have required intense interpersonal communication skills and have made me realize how diverse and rich the world is with varying perspectives. In order to become a well-rounded person, and to be able to effectively communicate with people from all backgrounds, I decided to pursue the multidisciplinary ICM program. The ICM program has lengthened by dictionary and has given me the vocabulary with which I can now critically address many multifaceted societal issues that surround me on a day to day basis. The professors are brilliant in their teaching methods and have given me many helpful academic research references that I needed in order to further understand and expand my knowledge on the social construction of reality. »
