I am Alexandra, 23 years old and am currently studying for a Master's degree in Geodesy and Geoinformatics. Four years ago, after graduating from high school, I was faced with a mountain of opportunities. Why not study something that fits my individual interests? In addition to the classical engineering sciences, such as mechanical engineering or civil engineering, there are numerous others that also have a lot of potential. My path then led me from Bavaria to Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, where a few months ago I successfully completed my Bachelor's degree in Geodesy and Metrology at our university. My expectations were fully met: small working groups, optimal support, very good job opportunities and the Mecklenburg Lake District right on my doorstep.

What makes me so enthusiastic about the Bachelor's and Master's programmes? Definitely the high practical part, which is indispensable especially in the engineering field, the chance to go abroad for a few weeks without a lot of organisational chaos and the personal development within the shortest time. My Master's thesis is due next year, and here, too, I am faced with a mountain of opportunities. I am looking forward to the coming challenges and can only recommend my professor's sentence to everyone: "It is important to have the courage to simply try out ways".
