What‘s your nicest memory of Braunschweig and do you have a favorite place?

My time studying in Braunschweig was one of the best in my life. The people, the library, the university, the parties, the sports courses... everything was just terrific!

 

Reasons why the TU Braunschweig is a great place to study:

Being together with other students and working on content and exciting topics together!

 

Describe the time of your studies in 3 words:

  • Insightful
  • Versatile
  • Lively

Which contents of your studies can you still use in your career today?

In particular, the ability to organise myself independently and the confidence to be able to work through difficult content by myself.

 

Are you still in touch with former fellow students? Do you see each other and if so, how often?

Yes, I still have many friends from my studies and we meet up regularly (in Braunschweig, but also in other places).

 

What advice would you give current students for their personal career planning?

  1. Trust the process: everything that is meant to be will happen - the foundations have definitely been laid by studying at the TU BS!
  2. A career is so much more than "just" a job, it's also about personal development and innovation.
  3. If you're not overwhelmed at the beginning, it's not the right job. :)

In one sentence - In the future I wish the TU Braunschweig:

Lots of innovative spirit, healthy students and plenty of sunshine to enjoy a coffee in the square in front of the library and the canteen. :)
