Nicolas Wigger is a first-year student of European Culture and Economy (ECUE). He is pursuing the Master of Arts degree.
Wieso haben Sie sich damals für Ihr Studienfach entschieden?
Because of my interest in Europe and in order to be able to embark on my future career with an interdisciplinary and comprehensive expertise.
An welchen Stellen haben sich die Erwartungen an Ihr Studienfach erfüllt, an welchen nicht?
The degree programme provides a multifaceted insight into the subject matter ‘Europe’ – considered from the points of views of different disciplines. Unfortunately, this approach results in an immense exam workload, with introductory, intermediate and final colloquiums as well as term papers, written exams and oral presentations.
Was macht Ihnen in Ihrem Fach am meisten Spaß?
The exchange within a strongly internationalised environment in our small student group.
Was war bisher die größte Herausforderung?
|
Mastering the high exam workload.
|
Was wollen Sie einmal damit werden?
|
I would like to work in the field of political consultancy, focusing on European and global topics.
|
Welche Tipps geben Sie den Leuten, die auch überlegen, Ihr Fach zu studieren?
The study programme is very demanding and, because of the international environment, very rewarding at the same time. Therefore, I would advise you against holding a part-time job.
