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

I don't have a single ‘best memory’ or a single ‘favourite place’, but being not originally form this region I have definitely learned to love the city over the years and made it my home.

 

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

Offers an open and cooperative atmosphere that encourages joint learning and research.

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

The ability to prepare and communicate complex topics in an comprehensible way is of great importance in my role as programme coordinator. Due to my own study experience, I am able to understand the needs of students well and thus support their academic pathways effectively. My technical background helps me to discuss things with lecturers at eye level and optimally align degree programmes with current requirements.

 

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

Not very often and rather irregularly.

 

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

  1. Start networking early on: contacts are often the key to exciting job offers.
  2. Gain practical experience: use internships and working student jobs to learn hands-on.
  3. Be open to change: career paths are rarely straightforward, flexibility can be crucial.

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

... that we as members of TU Braunschweig, staff, students, and lecturers will continue to work hard every day to make TU Braunschweig fit for the challenges of the future, without forgetting that we can only do this together.
