Testimonials
Read what previous participants thought about our Summer School
"I would be recommending it to all my classmates. It is an amazing opportunity specially if you are thinking of working overseas after graduating. I would absolutely recommend the program to all students at any stage in their collegiate careers! These types of unique experiences do not come around very often in life and you should jump at the chance if presented with the opportunity!"
"The brightest lecture, as well as the last day of summer school with a great party in the evening. The only negative thing is that I was sad to go home, realizing that summer school was over."
"I expected the schedule to be packed - and it was, but in a good way. It was a good balance between going to lectures and visiting companies that you had just studied about. One of the best things was this mix of theory and practice."
"The Summer School opens a lot of opportunities and it covers lots of knowledge and your educational needs. Even if I study chemical engineering, I also got a chance to venture into different aspects of engineering, for example electronic or biomedical. With all the knowledge I gained now, I am planning to pursue master degree in Germany."
"Loved it, especially how the dynamic worked with the other international students, having different viewpoints from all over the world while learning about German culture and seeing how that compares to other than your own was really unique."
"What I liked most was how passionate the professors were about the subjects they taught. They made us interested in their subjects."
"Even though I am not an engineering student, I have learnt a lot about engineering in these two weeks. I also learnt a lot about the city of Hamm and its diverse history. I understood why Germany is one of the strongest – if not the strongest – more innovative countries in Europe."
"I did not know that the Summer School offers such a good balance of education and having fun."
"All in all, I loved the program. I thought it was a tremendous experience and I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to participate. I learned a lot about myself through the experience and developed friendships that I maintain to this day. The program was a nice blend of business topics, engineering, and social experiences that provide a taste of what German culture is all about."
"Summer School: Fun, diverse and very international!"
"Overall, I enjoyed the program very much. Not only did I learn academically with the lectures but also culturally. Experiencing the culture of daily German life when we shopped at the supermarket or learned how to “applaud” with our desks. There was no company visit or day in general that was the same. The variety kept the program interesting."
