Profile

What is your tip for study orientation? 

Gather information from students in your chosen field, they know best what you can potentially expect. Choose your degree programme according to your interests and not according to simplicity, because where there's a will there's a way. You can also learn thermodynamics ;)

What character traits should you have for your degree programme? 

Good self-organisation and time management are an advantage, as well as motivation, ambition and perseverance.

What do you like best about the THI? 

The student exchange among aviation engineers and the exchange with the professors.

What has been your favourite project during your studies so far?

The flying drone project in the 6th semester, where we were allowed to design, construct and manufacture our own drone as a team and compete with the other team drones.

What insider tip do you have for student life? 

The Aviation Technology working group regularly organises get-togethers as well as summer and Christmas parties, which are great for networking.
