Olga Kravchenko, first year student MSc Innovation and Entrepreneurship
“If you aspire to be an entrepreneur, business developer or want to discover the field of corporate innovation, your opportunities at BI Norwegian Business School in Oslo are greater than anywhere else,” says first year student in Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Olga Kravchenko.
Olga explains enthusiastically how she decided to come to Norway and study at BI Norwegian Business School. Olga is originally from Ukraine and has both a bachelor and a master in Finance studies from the Ukrainian University, National University Kyiv-Mogyla Academy.
Olga wants to be an entrepreneur, and when the opportunity to study in Norway presented itself, she embraced it. She is grateful that BI not only teaches Innovation and Entrepreneurship but also provides an environment both inside and outside of school where it is possible to gain insight into the entrepreneurial spirit. “BI is a place to renew ones self and explore personal ambitions,” says Olga. She emphasizes that it is not only the classes at BI that are inspiring but also the opportunity to live in Norway. Olga appreciates that she is not only getting to know a new culture but gain new life experiences on both an academic and personal level. Therefore she is eager to find an Internship to also experience the Norwegian working environment and management style.
Olga enjoys how the study in Innovation and Entrepreneurship combines both theory and practice, and how the classes have students from diverse backgrounds. She says the students’ diverse professional backgrounds compliment each other and creates a highly motivating environment.
Olga feels that her study in Innovation and Entrepreneurship is preparing her for both work in a corporate environment or a new venture firm. She feels that she has already acquired a comprehensive understanding of the field of innovation. Olga sees herself in the future as an inspiring business partner, employee or entrepreneur.
