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

My whole life takes place here - so there's a hot bouquet of memories! My favourite place is therefore difficult to define. But I really like the old parts of the city such as Riddagshausen, Alt-Lehndorf, Ölper, and the Magni neighbourhood.

 

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

Always a blend of history and modernity.

 

Describe the time of your studies in 3 words:

  • Exciting
  • Informative
  • Trend-setting

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

Analytical and creative thinking; the ability to acquire knowledge independently; leadership skills; tolerance of frustration ;)

 

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

Yes, on a monthly basis.

 

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

  1. Find out what drives you.
  2. Take advantage of as many training opportunities as possible that allow you to look beyond your field of specialization.
  3. Whatever you've done, no matter how winding the path, has made you you who you are now and has broadened your horizon.

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

... to train students who take responsibility for themselves and their actions.
