My MBA Journey in HHL Leipzig Germany | Pingkan Podung


Congratulations! I have a new opportunity to new life, becoming candidate of HHL Leipzig Full Time MBA program.

On June 2023, I was searching for the specific information about the campus in Europe, and I got to HHL Leipzig. Here are some dates that I highlight :


- 1 June : I sent an email to the admission of HHL, "Admission is Still Open?"

- 5 June : I got a reply from Ms. Ellen Schönfelder "The deadline for non-EU candidates passed last week. The deadline is in place to ensure that candidates who require an entry visa to Germany have sufficient time to apply for the visa and receive it before program start in September. However if you were to submit your application by Wednesday 7 June, we can still process your application and include it with all other applications for this year’s intake."

- 6 June : I submitted my application. Got a reply from Ms. Anne Marie Bergmann.

- 13 June  : I got an email from Anne Marie Bergmann that I will have an interview with Prof. Vivek Velamuri on 22 June.
