1. Explain in detail what you aim to learn within your college of choice (APM/APS) and how it relates to your future goals. (Approx. 150 words)
At
Ritsumeikan Asia Pacific University's College of International Management
(APM), I am eager to deepen my understanding of international management,
focusing on areas like strategic management, marketing, and digital business
expertise. My past experience in digital marketing and web development has
ignited a passion for business. The diverse and innovative environment at APM
presents an ideal setting to expand my knowledge and skills. I am particularly
interested in learning how to effectively manage business operations on a
global scale, and how to develop adaptable strategies for various international
markets. This knowledge is crucial for my aspiration to become a market
researcher and a leader in the global business arena. Studying at APM will not
only equip me with the skills needed to excel in international business but
also lay a solid foundation for a successful and impactful career in the
competitive global market, enabling me to contribute significantly in various
business sectors.
Due
to some unavoidable disruptions I had in Bangladesh, I chose to change the
subject of my bachelor's degree and start a new academic path in Japan. I a'm
rethinking my educational path because of the long break in studies caused by
COVID-19 and problems with administration at my former university. Japan's
world-famous education system, which is known for its quality, innovation, and
focus on the world, has become an appealing option. I'm excited to start over
and get my bachelor's degree in Japan, where I can find the best educational
tools and get international experience. This will help me reach my academic and
career goals perfectly.
2.
Discuss a topic that is relevant to your preferred area of study (e.g. world
economy, business strategy, international relations, cross-cultural
understanding, social issues in your country,
etc.). Please state your opinion on this topic. (Approx. 150 words)
Digital
marketing in the global business landscape is a topic of immense interest to
me. In today's digitally driven world, understanding and leveraging digital
marketing strategies is crucial for businesses to thrive. I believe that an
effective digital marketing approach can be the key differentiator in a
company's success, especially in international markets. This involves not just
understanding various digital platforms but also the cultural nuances and
consumer behaviors in different regions. Digital marketing is not just a tool
for promotion, but a strategic element that integrates deeply with a business’s
overall strategy, especially when dealing with diverse and dispersed
international markets. This aligns with my career goal of becoming an international
market researcher, where I aim to blend digital marketing insights with global
business strategies. Additionally, this field requires an understanding of
ever-evolving technology and consumer trends, key for my aim to innovate in
global market research and strategy development.

Describe a personal challenge you faced or a situation that you found to be
particularly difficult. How did you overcome this obstacle and what did you
gain from the experience? (Approx. 150

Adapting
to digital marketing was a big leap from my science background. It felt like
stepping into a whole new world, both scary and thrilling. I dove right in,
learning on my own and taking a freelancing course. This wasn't just about
picking up new information; it was about getting good at things like web
development and digital marketing. Facing this challenge head-on taught me to
be resilient and to be brave enough to try new things. It made me realize how
important it is to keep learning and adapting. The skills and confidence I
built during this time have really shaped my goals in international management.
They've sparked a new excitement in me to mix my science know-how with the
world of business, opening up a path I am eager to explore.

Explain an interest you have done outside your academic classes (either

My
extracurricular journey has been diverse, each activity contributing uniquely
to my skill set. It started with digital marketing, through a freelancing
course that sharpened my abilities in strategic planning, content creation, and
web development. These skills are directly applicable in real-world business
scenarios, especially in international management. I also participated in
Quarantine Positivity Training and an online efficiency course with Bangladesh
Scouts, where I learned resilience and leadership, crucial for any professional
role. My achievement as the 1st runner-up at the Chittagong Science Carnival
2.0 enhanced my research and presentation skills, while my role as a Campus
Ambassador for the Bangabandhu Inter-University Sports Championship Season 3

Each
