What tips can you give young people who are looking for the right degree programme?
Talk to as many people as possible about what they are studying or have studied. This is the best way to get an insight into a degree programme and to learn a lot about the advantages and disadvantages of different universities and colleges. This gives you a good idea of whether it might be a good fit for you. Often, you also learn about degree programmes that you were not even aware of.
What tips would you give to students in your degree programme?Exchange information and help each other. It's great to have fellow students who share information from the lecture when you weren't there yourself. You can also support each other in the many projects. One person is good at one thing, the other is particularly good at something else. That way you can all get the best out of each other. This tip does not only apply to IMUKlers ;)
What was your first job like and how did you find out about it?
I started my professional life as a trainee. That was just right after IMUK, because the degree programme is so broad and you can work in many different areas. After graduating, I still didn't know exactly what job was right for me. The trainee programme gave me an insight into several departments. On the one hand, you can try out several things and, on the other hand, you gain a better understanding of the connections between the different departments. That still helps me today to better understand the processes within a company. I found the job through a job advertisement on the company website.
What are your professional goals for the future?
My part-time master's degree in business psychology has allowed me to steer my career in a different direction. My previous professional experience was mainly focused on sales and marketing. However, I realised that what I enjoy most is working with people. During my studies, I also learned a lot about human behaviour. Together with my previous professional experience, this now enables me to mentor trainees and dual students in the commercial sector as a training coach. I would like to continue gaining experience and expanding my knowledge in this area.
