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

Due to my minor in English Studies, I was often at the North Campus. Sitting there in the sun with a coffee from the Campus Pavillon in front of the lecture hall building was always a small highlight!

 

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

I always found the different locations—the main campus, north campus, and various departments—to be very unique. Each had its own atmosphere and unique personalities. That greatly enriched my studies.

 

Describe the time of your studies in 3 words:

  • intensive
  • versatile
  • enjoyable

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

Definitely the basic fundamentals of communication (sender - receiver).

 

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

Yes. I am still in close contact with two former fellow students, and we go on a little trip together every year. :-)

 

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

  1. Start looking into potential jobs as early as possible.
  2. Take advantage of career counseling.
  3. Don't stress too much. The likelihood of staying in your first job for the rest of your life is close to zero. ;-)

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

Lots of curious students!
