Dipl.-Inf. Dirk Erdmann

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

The view from the 10th floor of the Mühlenpfordtstrasse dormitory ("Affenfelsen") over the city all the way to the Harz mountains was truly legendary. :-) Apart from that, I love Riddagshausen and Ölper See.

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

A charming city with just the right size for everyday life, short distances, and various cultural amenities.

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

The technical basics still form a solid foundation for various job roles today. In a nutshell, it's mainly the ability to approach problems in a structured fashion and learning to learn.

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

I am still in touch with some of my fellow students on a regular basis. And I really enjoy that.

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

1. Follow your interests, specific knowledge can always be acquired later.
2. A Master's thesis in the industry is an excellent opportunity to make contacts.
