I work at the Deutsche Telekom Chair for Communication Networks at TU Dresden in the BMBF-funded QUARKS project. I am employed there as an education manager and design school modules on the subject of quantum communication. This also includes investigating psychological variables, such as students' motivation to learn, as well as writing scientific papers. I am also responsible for the organizational and administrative tasks of the all-day Girls for Robots program of the CeTI Cluster of Excellence at TU Dresden for female students.

I particularly liked the interdisciplinarity and the family atmosphere of the small degree program. Not only is the degree program interdisciplinary, but the students also come from different fields. The fact that the degree program was so small meant that you could quickly get into an exciting exchange. The degree program offers many opportunities, especially if you didn't want to commit yourself yet or didn't know where you wanted to go. For me, project management, continuing education research and research methods were particularly helpful in order to be able to cope better with the tasks in my job. The course can be combined perfectly with various part-time jobs to gain practical experience and develop further.

Not only the degree program, but also the opportunities offered by TU Dresden in general are ideal for personal development. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the degree program, you can spend a semester abroad in different areas. I myself was in Portugal and was able to take cool modules there that further sharpened my interests. I find that the Master's is over quickly, so take advantage of the university's cultural, sporting and social events and stay curious in the modules.
