Nicolas Wigger Gen. Lütke Lembeck
Nicolas Wigger is a first-year student of European Culture and Economy (ECUE). He is pursuing the Master of Arts degree.

What made you choose this degree programme?

Because of my interest in Europe and in order to be able to embark on my future career with an interdisciplinary and comprehensive expertise.

In which respect have or haven’t your expectations been fulfilled?

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.

Which aspect of your degree programme do you enjoy most?

The exchange within a strongly internationalised environment in our small student group.

What has been your biggest challenge to date?

Mastering the high exam workload.

What would you like to become after completing your degree?

I would like to work in the field of political consultancy, focusing on European and global topics.

Which advice would you like to give to students who consider enrolling in this degree programme?

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.
