Student Achievements
John Winn Der M.Sc. fast track Studiengang war im Vergleich zum Regel M.Sc. Studiengang der effizienteste Franz-Oberthür-Techniker Schule Weg, da man alle Vorlesungen in zwei Monaten, anstatt über zwölf Monate verteilt, absolvieren kann. Dies hat den Vorteil schon ab August zuhause sein zu können. Die Master Abschlussarbeit Graduated in 2017 BEng. Performance findet, von September bis Mai, in eigener Regie oder in Zusammenarbeit mit einer Firma in Car Technology 1st Deutschland statt. Kleiner Tipp, zum Ende des Bachelors schon nach potenziellen Firmen und deren Themen erkundigen, sofern man nicht ein eigenes Projekt umsetzen möchte.
Currently studying MSc Fast Track Der fast track Master hat es dennoch in sich. Man ist Wort wörtlich ständig in der Uni, da man in Mechanical Manufacturing der Regel acht Stunden am Tag Vorlesung hat und parallel dazu noch eine Vielzahl an Hausarbeiten schreiben und sich auf drei schriftliche Prüfungen vorbereiten muss. Keine Angst, es bliebt trotzdem genug Zeit an den Wochenenden zu grillen und Bier zu trinken ;)
Während der Abschlussarbeit kann man sich aufhalten wo man will, sofern man unabhängig von einer Firma ein Thema ausarbeitet. Für eventuelle fragen und Hilfestellung steht einem ein selbst gewählter Universitäts Supervisor per Skype zur Seite. Mein Supervisor ist der junge Mann der diese Präsentation hält, den ich wärmstens empfehlen kann.
Im Vergleich zum Bachelor, hat der Master den Vorteil, dass man seine Studiums Kollegen besser kennen lernt weil man auch viel mehr Zeit miteinander verbringt. Ich kann es jedem empfehlen, denn es bilden sich in dieser Zeit Freundschaften die weit über das Studium hinaus reichen. Aber genug von mir, ich will ja nicht gleich alles für euch Spoilern ;) Interested? To find out more……..
