I chose Furtwangen University because it’s well-known for its practical orientation and international study programmes. What I really like about my International Engineering programme, with its focus on medical engineering, is the mix of technical and business content, along with the chance to do a study semester abroad in France. That experience gave me valuable intercultural insights and helped me deepen my knowledge of industrial engineering.
J'ai choisi la Hochschule Furtwangen car elle est réputée pour sa formation pratique et ses programmes d'études internationaux. Ce que j'apprécie particulièrement dans mon cursus International Engineering avec une spécialisation en technologie médicale, c'est la combinaison entre les contenus techniques et économiques, ainsi que la possibilité d'effectuer un semestre à l'étranger en France. Ce semestre à l'étranger m'a non seulement permis d'acquérir de précieuses expériences interculturelles, mais aussi d'approfondir mes connaissances dans le domaine de l’ingénierie industrielle.
