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

Many things are beautiful in Braunschweig, but my favourite place is the Eintracht stadium!

 

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

A good mix of large and small town-feeling: everything is available, but it's not overwhelming! There is a comprehensive range of study programmes at a high level.

 

Describe the time of your studies in 3 words:

  • effective
  • concise
  • good

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

Especially in times of the energy transition and grid changes, the basics are becoming important again.

 

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

Yes, at family gatherings, etc.

 

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

  1. Check whether you identify with the task.
  2. Always remain willing to learn.
  3. 150% commitment is good sometimes, but please do not exceed 100% in the long term.

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

Stability and a focus on the priorities of the future (please don't go with every fashion)!
