Your guide to enhancing your development as a student.

Getting to know your personal competencies and using them actively in your studies can both increase your well-being and your academic results. But do you even know your strengths, and do you know how to use them optimally?

Do you have a plan or are you taking it as it comes?

There are different approaches that can shape how your next semester looks. Or perhaps your first job? Are you the spontaneous type or do you prefer a clear structure for your study and career life? Both can work.

Why it is a good idea to cooperate with a company

A stay abroad can be a personally enriching experience that shapes you as a person. And you can also show future employers that you are able to adapt to different environments and thrive in an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural setting.

What are you looking for in a student job?
