Adil Kenzhekhan - 0 Km To Munich
Yana Immis
Mr. Adil Kenzhekhan arrived in Munich with Study Abroad in Germany visa and started M.Sc. Master of Science in Finance program at ISM Hochschule in Munich just a few weeks ago in September 2022.
I wish him the best with his studies, career and life in Europe and I ask him a few questions about his relocation from Kazakhstan to Germany!
1. Why did you choose ISM Hochschule in Munich?
Out of many alternatives among schools in Germany, I chose ISM in Munich because I was interested in the city and I liked the way in which the school communicated with me. The replies of the workers were immediate, informative, and helpful.
2. Why did you choose Finance as a Major?
I have been growing up by an example of a man who did his economics and finance degrees in the early 90s. This man is my father, who inspired me and gave me this passion for numbers. From an early age, I was good at math, physics, and chemistry. All these classes are related to science, and I made a decision that I will bring the knowledge I have and apply it to the financial world. The person I admire the most succeeded and had a fantastic career and I would like to follow this path and outperform the master!
3. Why did you choose Germany out of so many options to study abroad?
It was a tough decision to choose the country, but my elder sister who did her Master’s Degree in Germany recommended me this country. From her words, I understood that I would not find a better place to learn finance because of the opportunities and the strong financial vision of the country.
4. What did you bring with you from Kazakhstan to Germany?
The first thing, which came to my mind is the tradition to play a national instrument, which is called the dombra. This instrument looks like a small guitar with two strings only. It is very simple to use, but when you hear the sound, it feels like a whole orchestra is playing the concert and you usually get goosebumps. The idea is to introduce the Kazakh musical culture to people who live in Munich.
Adil, personal note from me, you rock! And you will be very successful! Keep the positive vibes, energy, ambition up and don’t let yourself procrastinate ;-)
