A student talks about her experiences

Claudia Zeller is in her last semester of the Bachelor's program in Business Administration and Engineering. This means that she has already completed almost all of her lectures - as well as her semester abroad in China. One thing that came as a pleasant surprise during her studies:

"My everyday life during my studies has already changed. I never thought before I started studying that you could learn so much. I didn't study that much at school and suddenly spent a lot more time studying. It's no problem because it's fun!"
