STUDY PLAN

My name is Zainurrafiqi, Im 32 years old now, Im from Indonesia. I finished my Master

Degree at University of Brawijaya and National Pingtung University of Science and Technology
(NPUST) for Double Degree Program with final GPA 3.73 out of 4.00. Currently, Im working
as an lecture in University of Madura Pamekasan, East Java at Management Department. For me
teaching is not only a job but also it is kind of the spirit calling from my deepest heart, it was
really amazing and proud of making people come to understand something that they do not
understand before. That is why I love the world of education ever since I was at Primary School.
Beside teaching I love economics business too, this one is the biggest part of me right now. I
have been very interested in business since Elementary School, knowing how to get much money
through selling product as well as knowing the characteristics of many people outside, taught me
how to manage the time to get success in business and what kind of strategy which is powerful to
get much better results as well as how to work together in group or team well. That time I had to
be smart to analyzing the various of human characters to make them undertstand what I
explained. Everything happened since that time, and yes I love to analyze the behavior of human
characteristics as well as kind of social responsibility. Over time I love business much more until
now, more over, my parents are traders, even not the big traders but they have always taught me
how to do business well through learning the customers behavior. In undergraduate program I
studied some courses which are related to that goal. Some of them are Introduction to Macro
Economics, Introduction to Micro Economics, Introduction to Business, English For Business,
Economic Statistics, Introduction to Management, Entrepeneurship, Business Feasibility Study,
Financial Management, Business Law, Research Methodology, Management of Information
System, Audit of Management, and System of Management Controlling where of each courses I
got the great academic achievement. For this reason after completing my masters degree I am
planning to pursue my Ph.D in Taiwan again to improve my knowledge and ability as well to
strengthen my character, that is why I decide to learn more about business in International
Business Program because this program will not only teach theoretical knowledge but more than
that, there is practical knowledge based on the field in business.
Taiwan is the country where I would like to stay. I have read much more about Taiwan
and I found that Taiwan is a multination country, many foreigners, many foreign industries, and
it improves greatly time by time. This condition will be an advantage for foreign student like me
to learn much new knowledges and gain many experiences.
Studying in Taiwan will be a great chance for everyone, including me, not only because
of the offered scholarship but also because of the educational system itself. After searching for
the university in Taiwan, I am sure that NCU as one of the best private universities in Taiwan
will enable me to realize all of my expectations with its curriculum especially in the International
Business. NCU as the leading university in Taiwan is the great place for me to grow and
improving myself. I desire to be the part of this educated community, which will trigger my
potential improvement. If I get the chance to join here, I will give my best perform and finish the
Ph.D program in 4 years with the great academic achievement. I am sure I can do that. I do really
hope that studying at an international university will make me understand more how to deal with
many types of people and after graduate; I will have a larger scoop of working in the field.
One important factor that makes me believe that NCU International Business Program is
a right choice is the overseas entrepreneurship internship. Beside the compulsory and optional
subjects given in classes, this internship will enrich the student with practical knowledge. More
over, one of the characteristics of NCU International Business program is to make students
deeply understand practical experience in enterprises by offering case study program which is
encourage me deeply, because I like to handle and solve the case about the currently business
situation. One of my favorite lecture in NCU is Dr.Yeh Jin-Huei as Chair Department of
Finance, I met him at University of Brawijaya at the time of interviewee. I told him at the time
that I want he becom my adviser if I am accepted in NCU and he responded that he really
excited. I am sure if I am accepted in NCU I will publish many papers.
After graduate from my Ph.D program, my deepest commitment is to go back to
Indonesia, do all things I got and learned from Taiwan especially from NCU, building a new
great business with my own capability as well as try to develop the Indonesia education system.
To be a great and leading entrepreneur, lecturer and researcher is the most willingness of me. I
have a desire to transfer and develop the knowledge that I have gained from this program to the
students in Indonesia. I want to motivate and equip them as well as share and spread the
knowledge I have is the happinesss of the life for me. That is my biggest goal.
Finally, I am sure that I am capable to obtain good performance during my study at NCU
because it is my own expectation so that I will be able to motivate myself totally. Not only at the
time of study, but also after I am graduated, I will do all my best to run business confidently with
all of my educational background and experiences.

Sincerely yours
