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

I still enjoy going to the Christmas market whenever I can. 

 

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

A green city with a high quality of life

Describe the time of your studies in 3 words:

  • varied
  • long
  • bonding

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

The lectures by Prof. Scholl from the ICVT were particularly valuable, as they had a clear practical focus.

 

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

Unfortunately, we've lost touch since I moved to Norway.

 

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

  1. Gain international experience!
  2. Take project management courses — repeatedly, if possible! 
  3. Aim not only for professional development but also for personal growth through student initiatives like bonding.

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

generous state funding
