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

The campus and library, having a barbecue with fellow students in the park

 

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

High academic standards, while fostering a sense of community at the same time

 

Describe the time of your studies in 3 words:

  • Inspiring
  • and 
  • mind-expanding

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

Taking on intellectual challenges, assessing what can and cannot be deduced from data, gaining a better understanding of the development of oncological and immunological preparations.

 

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

I am, indeed.

 

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

  1. Be curious about what you’re capable of and take on new challenges – the magic happens just outside your comfort zone.
  2. Carefully observe what brings you joy and a sense of purpose, and set yourself goals based on the experiences you want to have.

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

May the university and as many of its students as possible remain ambitious and keen to succeed.
