What's happening in PresUniv
Scherzo Wahid Naiborhu, alumni of President University (PresUniv) in 2012, is the first student to receive a full scholarship from the University of Glasgow (UofG), United Kingdom. At PresUniv, Scherzo chose to study Banking & Finance with a concentration. He said, "I chose PresUniv for two reasons. First, because from the start I wanted to graduate from college for three and a half years and continue my Masters studies abroad. Second, PresUniv is the right university to develop my English language skills and my interests in Banking & Finance. "
Scherzo's efforts to get a scholarship from UofG were not easy. Having been rejected nine times, he was not discouraged. After trying again and even having to wait two years, in 2018, Scherzo was finally accepted at UofG. For PresUniv alumni who wish to study for master's degrees abroad, Scherzo suggested at least two years of work experience. "The work experience will be very helpful in the scholarship acceptance selection process," he said, Thursday (4/2).
While studying at UofG, Scherzo also had an internship at the representative office of Bank Indonesia in London, England. In 2019, Scherzo completed his master's degree and returned to Indonesia. Now he has a career in a financial company in Jakarta. (Lita Gabriella, PR team).
Scherzo Berbagi Pengalaman Cari Beasiswa di UofG
Scherzo Wahid Naiborhu, alumni President University (PresUniv) tahun 2012, adalah mahasiswa pertama yang mendapatkan beasiswa penuh dari University of Glasgow (UofG), United Kingdom. Di PresUniv, Scherzo memilih kuliah dengan konsentrasi Banking & Finance. Katanya, “Saya memilih PresUniv karena dua alasan. Pertama, karena sejak awal saya ingin lulus kuliah selama tiga setengah tahun dan melanjutkan kuliah S2 di luar negeri. Kedua, PresUniv adalah universitas yang tepat untuk mengembangkan kemampuan bahasa Inggris dan minat saya di bidang Banking & Finance.”
Upaya Scherzo untuk mendapatkan beasiswa dari UofG tidak mudah. Sempat ditolak hingga sembilan kali, dia tidak patah semangat. Setelah mencoba lagi dan bahkan harus menunggu selama dua tahun, pada 2018 akhirnya Scherzo diterima di UofG. Bagi alumni PresUniv yang ingin kuliah S2 di luar negeri, Scherzo menyarankan, minimal mempunyai pengalaman bekerja selama dua tahun. “Pengalaman kerja itu akan sangat membantu dalam proses seleksi penerimaan beasiswa,” ungkapnya, Kamis (4/2).
Selama kuliah di UofG, Scherzo juga sempat magang di kantor perwakilan Bank Indonesia di London, Inggris. Pada 2019, Scherzo berhasil menyelesaikan kuliah S2-nya dan kembali ke Indonesia. Kini ia berkarier di salah satu perusahan keuangan di Jakarta. (Lita Gabriella, tim PR).
