For what reasons did you decide to study at HNU?
The decisive factor was the Information Management and Corporate Communication degree programme, which is a unique selling point of HNU in terms of its content and had convinced me very much.

What experiences during your studies have had a particular impact on you?
The high level of interdisciplinarity, communication and teamwork is unparalleled and still keeps me busy every single day in the office - but also outside it - 13 years later. This once again shows the high level of practical relevance.


What is your advice to all graduates who are looking for their first job?
Draw a Venn diagram with what you are good at, what you like to do and what makes sense. There are certainly attractive jobs in the intersection of these three.


Which experiences from your studies at HNU have proven valuable in your professional life?
Managing interdisciplinary interfaces and actively communicating with all stakeholders were just as valuable in my studies at HNU as they are in my professional life at a company with more than 30,000 employees. And both are becoming even more important and valuable.


How would you complete the following sentence beginning?
HNU... "and the IMUK degree programme were very valuable to me professionally and personally for my personal development."
