  • Wide range of activities and collaboration with specialists

  • Organisation at a large company
  • Working independently at an unfamiliar location

My biggest success / My greatest experience

I am proud to have been a valued member of the department. I am still in contact with my former colleagues and shared some exciting experiences with them such as multi-day meetings, factory tours, business trips with presentations in Austria and Germany, sharing knowledge with other companies such as BMW and Siemens, the Linde Oktoberfest, Christmas markets, birthday parties and goodbye celebrations.

How I secured the internship

Internet research and an official application followed by an interview on-site.

What I want to do in the future

After completing my Master’s, I would certainly consider another trip abroad. For young students with no ties like myself, the door is wide open to lots more exciting experiences like this.
