Experiences from a Berlin student in Rotterdam, Jannis Reich (second left)
Experience of Jannis Reich
“Before I came to Rotterdam, I learned the theory. In the last three months I finally got the chance to use my knowledge in real projects for real companies.”
“The whole course is focused on learning by doing. It´s a completely new experience and totally worth it.”
Jannis Reich continued
“Of course Rotterdam is smaller than Berlin, but don´t worry too much, I can promise there is more than enough to do (thanks to ESN: Erasmus Student Network, organises parties and excursions)”
“I would recommend this minor to everyone who is interested in consulting and wants to gain the necessary skills”
