Advancing from a diploma to a PhD

Jia Qiong, 2000
From Diploma to PhD at Cambridge

Jia Qiong‘s good results earned her a scholarship at Sheffield University, where she successfully completed her bachelor’s degree in business with First Class honours.

She proceeded to the Master of Science program (Management Research) at Oxford University, and continued to excel, graduating in the top 10% of her cohort.

Spurred on by a keen interest in research and education, this ambitious young lady is now pursuing her PhD studies at Cambridge University Management School. Her research topic is "Value Creation and Value Drivers of Mergers and Acquisition". Career-wise, Jia Qiong has big dreams of becoming an entrepreneur – she plans to set up a business in education consultancy.

Reminiscing her school days at TP, Jia Qiong said: "The knowledge, skills and values I’ve picked up at TP were instrumental to my success at university and in my personal life. I am especially grateful to all the TP lecturers who have taught me – their kindness and encouragement will remain in my fond memories.”
