Interview with Li Junze 李钧泽采访视频

“很留恋这里”

“很留恋这里！”在毕业过后的采访中，李钧泽用最直白的话语表达了他对宁波诺丁汉大学的留恋。“四年很美好，转瞬即逝”，即将前往伦敦继续深造的他，回忆起自己在宁诺的学习生涯，从初入宁诺的短暂迷茫，到如今走出宁诺的自信从容；从聆听学长学姐们的分享，到帮助学弟学妹们发展自我；从和朋友们相识相交，到如今各奔前程。这段学习经历不仅使他扩展了知识的广度，同时也帮助他开掘了思想的深度。在本次采访中，李钧泽在回忆自己的学习生涯的同时，也分享了他所总结的一些经验，让我们跟随他记忆的脚步，探寻他在宁诺的经历与成长。

雏鹰起飞前的换羽期

在高三的一场饭局之中，李钧泽第一次了解到中外合办大学。高考结束后，李钧泽和父母一起对国内的中外合办大学进行了详细的了解和分析。最终，李钧泽认为最适合他的大学是宁波诺丁汉大学，并选择了这所学校。“学校提供了非常好的平台，资源丰富，有益于学生未来的发展，但最重要的还是我们如何去利用好这个平台。” 而合理利用学校的资源与优势，正是李钧泽所擅长的。

但李钧泽在宁诺的学习生涯也并非一帆风顺。“刚到这个学校的时候，感觉很挣扎，甚至都有想要退学复读一年然后再去国内传统大学读书的念头。” 刚进入宁诺学习的李钧泽，并没有如想象中的那样适应这里的大学生活，大一秋季学期的成绩在整个专业的中等偏下水平。但在家长的坚持和学长学姐们的鼓励下，李钧泽积极调整心态，在春季学期有了很大的进步，很快他便适应了宁诺的学习节奏，并积极地参与到校园生活当中。在谈及这一段经历的时候，李钧泽特别地表达了对父母一路上无私奉献与支持的感激。“父母会为我考虑很多，比如从小城走出去的孩子会不会不适应、和其他同学有代沟，但他们一直全力支持着我，因为他们希望我能抓住这个机会走向更广阔的世界。”

在观察中学习，在交流中成长

在问及如何确定自己的目标时，李钧泽讲述了他的经历。在iWeek（新生适应周）期间以及参与的社团活动中，李钧泽结识了许多乐于分享的学长学姐。“一开始进来（宁诺）的感觉，像是个温馨的大家庭，每个人都乐意去分享经验、帮助他人。” 李钧泽这么形容宁诺的氛围。通过与学长学姐的交流和自己的观察，李钧泽找到了学习参考的对象，并通过实践将他人的经历改造成适合自我的全新规划。“无论是大一的暑假还是其他时候，每一个阶段都能找到学习的对象。”后来，李钧泽也将学长学姐们带给他的这份温暖与力量延续了下去，成为学长、朋辈导师的他，经常为学弟学妹们解疑答惑、分享学术经验，被大家笑称为“多老师”。

对于出国交换，李钧泽也有他自己的见解。他认为出国交换最大的收获并不仅仅是在专业课程中所学到的知识，而是了解当地文化并与其交流后所带来的国际化视野的提升。“我在英国旅行的过程中了解到英格兰人和苏格兰人的差异，个人认为苏格兰人比较粗犷一些，英格兰人更绅士一些”，李钧泽以他在英国的旅行见闻举例，“其实我很期待有机会去到不同的国家和地区，这些经历对你以后无论是工作还是思维的开阔都非常重要”。同时他也表示，积极交流是商学院课程学习的一个十分重要的途径，无论是与老师还是和同学交流，思维的碰撞都能带来不一样的东西。

商学院之外的另一个课堂

在商学院的学习之外，李钧泽还从另一个课堂中学到了许多。在他口中，参加社团活动和广交朋友都给他带来了许多成长，充实了他的大学生活。大二学年在商英社做过负责人的他，在谈及社团带给他的益处时，说道：“我觉得社团主要带给我了两点，首先是学术之外的团队协作的经历，第二点就是结识了很多有共同兴趣的朋友。”而大学认识的志同道合的朋友对李钧泽来说是不可或缺的重要部分，无论是从生活还是从学业来说，朋友都给他带来了很多帮助，让他的大学生涯更加丰富多彩。

在参与社团活动和与朋友交往的过程中，如何平衡这些与学习之间的关系是一个不可避免的问题。李钧泽认为，这个问题实质上是如何在生活和学习中实现平衡。“无法完全平衡，没有绝对标准。”他是这么回答的。他认为，生活和学习是相互交织在一起的，无法完全以时间为标准区分开来，如果强行区分开反而可能使事情更加杂乱，效率降低。我认为自己比较有效的做法是放平心态，随机应变，见招拆招，保持生活和学习的动态平衡。

“静下心沉淀自己，寻找未来的方向”

在采访的末尾，当被问及有什么和学弟学妹们分享的话时，李钧泽给出了他的见解。他先讲述了他自己这一年来的体验，“过得十分匆忙，让自己有些找不到节奏和方向”。大四秋季学期一连串的考试、申研、写论文，还有春季学期突发的疫情导致李钧泽在这一年里的时间十分紧凑。如今毕业之后，他终于找到时间去沉静自己的心，反思总结过去的一年。他认为，这样做可以更好地沉淀自己，从过去的成功与失败中收获经验，并明确未来的前进方向，使自己不迷茫，而这种状态便是他所追求的新常态。“希望学弟学妹们在面对困难时能够保持坚韧与勇敢，在前进的道路上也不忘时常放慢脚步，沉淀反思自己，人生没有无用的经历，让每一步都走得有意义。”

未来的道路

“毕业之后还是先继续读书吧。” 当谈到对未来职业规划的时候，他透露了自己所规划的两条截然不同的道路。第一个方向是在读完研究生后步入职场，从事项目管理或者管理咨询的工作，然后通过继续读MBA来丰富自己的知识。第二个方向是在读完研究生后继续攻读博士，在学术研究领域继续深入，然后回到学校当一名教授。他有着明确的方向，但世间风云变幻，随机应变是他的态度，他会在每个路口再抉择，踏实走好脚下的每一步，就好！

My UNNC Story

Li Junze: Every step I take here is meaningful!

"I’ll miss this place very much!" expressed Li Junze during this interview after graduation. He used the most understandable words to describe UNNC’s profound presence in his memories. "The four years were wonderful but fleeting," said Junze, as he recalled his journey at UNNC. From disorientation in the beginning to his current confidence, he is now ready to pursue further study at the London School of Economics and Political Science. From listening to seniors sharing their experience, to eventually helping other fellow students, from building friendships to parting ways, Junze reflected on how his educational journey broadened his knowledge and deepened his insights. In this interview, Junze recalled his student days, and shared some of his experiences, allowing us to follow his path in retrospect to explore his experience at UNNC.

Slide up for more details.

Ready to rise and take off

At a dinner during his senior year at high school, Li Junze first learned about Sino-foreign universities. After the Gaokao, Junze and his parents together explored this type of university thoroughly. Junze eventually found that UNNC matched his ideal requirements, and he decided to attend university here. "UNNC provides a great platform that is rich in resources, which can benefit students' future development, and students need to consider how to take advantage of them." Junze is especially adept at appropriately taking advantage of UNNC’s strengths.

However, Junze’s journey at UNNC was not all smooth sailing. "When I first entered the university, I struggled a lot, and even thought of dropping out to repeat another year and then enter a traditional university." Consequently, Junze was facing below-average grades by the spring of his freshman year. Nevertheless, through his parents’ support and senior students’ encouragement, Junze adjusted his mindset and changed himself during the autumn semester. He then quickly caught up with the university’s academic pace and actively began to participate in university events. As Junze discussed this period, he highlighted how grateful he was for his parents’ selfless giving and support. "My parents paid a lot of attention to my behaviour, like whether their son from a small town could adjust to a new environment or whether there would be a recognition gap between other students and me. However, they provided full support because they hoped I could use the opportunity to open the door to a bigger world."

Learning from observation, growing from communication

When asked about how he targeted his goals, Li Junze explained how his experience during iWeek (new students' induction week) and with student organisations was formative because he connected with and learned from many senior students. When describing UNNC’s community, Junze said, "Upon entering, one can feel that UNNC is like a warm family, and everyone is happy to share." Through communicating with senior students and through observation, Junze found role models worth referencing and adapted other role models’ experiences to form his ideal plan. "No matter the period, everyone can find a role model for different stages in life."

With regard to studying abroad, Junze also gave his opinions. He thinks that the most significant value in studying abroad does not lie solely in the knowledge learned from courses, but in gaining an elevated international view from communicating with a different culture." I learned during my UK trip the contrast between the English and the Scottish." Junze used this example to explain the following, "I look forward to travelling to different countries because it can critically influence our future profession or other experiences." At the same time, Junze also pointed out that communication is essential in NUBS China’s courses because interpersonal communication with professors or peers can stimulate different ideas and thoughts.

Classroom outside of NUBS China

Aside from studying at NUBS China, Junze also learned a lot from other places. He gained many benefits from clubs and friendships, which enriched his university life. During his second year, he became the leader of the Sunny-Biz Student Society. As Junze discussed the ways he benefited from the club, he explained, "I think the club gifted me two things — teamwork experience, and friendship built through the experience." Friends who share common bonds are vital to Junze. In both daily and academic life, friends gave him support and enlivened his UNNC journey.

When actively attending clubs and maintaining friendships, the balance between such involvement and learning becomes an inevitable issue. Junze believes that the problem lies in balancing social and academic life. "It is impossible to achieve total balance, and there is no absolute standard," said Junze when he responded to the issue. He thinks that daily life and study time are intertwined, meaning that they cannot be easily split into different periods. If one tries to forcefully split them apart, one may face more struggles and lower efficiency. The best way might be to appropriately position one’s attitude and mindset, be flexible with changes, adapt to emerging issues, and achieve a balance between the dynamic pace of daily life and studying.

Space and calm to explore future paths

As the interview came to an end, Junze shared his thoughts when asked about what he wanted to share with younger students. He first described his experience during the past year, "I was swamped, to the point where I could not find a clear direction." Final year examinations, graduate school applications, papers, and the recent COVID-19 pandemic made Junze’s schedule in the past year very packed. Since graduation, he has finally found some time to be calm and reflect on the previous year. He believes that by doing so, he can better position himself, digest recent accomplishments, and clarify his future direction to prevent himself from feeling lost. Such a state of mind is something he looks for in daily life.

Future paths

"I will first be continuing my studies after graduation." Junze mentioned his graduate school choice as he talked about his future path. While conversing over career development, Junze revealed two different paths he planned for himself. The first plan is to enter a company to gain project management experience after graduating with a master’s degree, and then later pursue an MBA programme. The second plan is to pursue a PhD degree after a master’s programme, to delve deeper into academia and return to university to become an academic staff. No matter which choice, Junze gradually equips the ability to cherish the moment and keep his wits about his future.
