Maximilian Schnier – Master

What made you choose this degree programme?

Before starting my studies, I completed an internship as an industrial clerk. During this time, I realised that I wanted to gain a greater understanding of technology. I also really enjoyed working in sales, so after doing some research online, I came across SEPM. I was immediately impressed by the programme and the opportunities it offered.

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

I am very happy with my SEPM degree programme! It prepares you perfectly for careers in fields such as technical sales and opens up numerous opportunities afterwards. I think it's great that you can choose some of the modules based on your own interests. However, there is no time set aside for internships, so you should plan and organise these early on.

Which aspect of your degree programme do you enjoy most?

For me, the greatest appeal is the mix of content. Technical, economical and self-selected modules alternate within the specialisation. This gives you a great overview, but also allows you to specialise. I also like the fact that the programme is rather small, making it easy to get in touch with other students.

What has been your biggest challenge to date?

The biggest challenge for me were the various modules in the basic engineering course. These required a lot of time and motivation, but in retrospect it was definitely worth it.

What would you like to become after completing your degree?

I can well imagine working in the field of automation technology, digitalisation or connectivity. I enjoy working on longer projects, so technical sales or product management are definitely options for me.

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

It is important to stay on track right from the start! Especially in the bachelor's programme, it can be very stressful and hard at the beginning, but you should not let that discourage you. It is just as important to always be in contact with other students, as this makes so many things easier.
