Master 1 subject

Kerstin Fischer is a first-year student of Sales Engineering and Product Management. She is pursuing the Master of Science degree.

What made you choose this degree programme?

Back in school, I used to enjoy maths, physics and English. Consequently, I wanted to find a degree course which combines all these subjects. With engineering science making up 2/3 and industrial sales and product management 1/3 of the curriculum, the Sales Engineering and Product Management degree course offers a good combination, in my opinion.

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

My expectations have been met, for the most part. The subjects covered by the mechanical engineering, sales and product management curricula were consistent with my ideas. On a more general note, I would have wished for more English-language lectures.

Which aspect of your degree programme do you enjoy most?

Application-oriented exercises and simulation games were great fun and kept the degree course interesting.

What has been your biggest challenge to date?

Definitely the exam phases and the lack of leisure time that went with them. Here, the main challenge was to stick it out and keep up my motivation.

What would you like to become after completing your degree?

Through my sales and product management courses and my internships, I gained a good insight into a number of fields. At present, I am leaning towards a career in product management.

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

I think that motivation and the ability to get organised are very important requirements. Approach your degree course as a fun thing to do, and don’t let setbacks bring you down – rather, hang in there :-)
