Why study at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg?
“I can highly recommend everybody to go on a staff exchange. In my everyday work, I serve for instance many international students, but from the perspective of a German university. My stay in Vaasa allowed me to take a bird’s eye view perspective. I realised that many situations are very similar and that there are different approaches. Coming to Vaasa and sharing my knowledge with colleagues from abroad was inspiring and encouraging.”
