Internationals: To Hamburg for a Master's Degree - a Personal Account
Germany is a popular destination for international students, and is currently actually the country in Europe hosting the highest number of students from abroad.* The high quality of life, the excellent education system and the opportunity to work in Germany after graduating are some of the main reasons why many young people decide to study here. For each student, the intercultural experiences that come with living and studying in a new country are, however, particularly important.
Our postgraduate student Kumru 脰zkan approves this statement. She has lived in Hamburg for the last years, arriving from Turkey in 2023 to enroll at HSBA, studying the part-time, English-language Master鈥檚programme in Business Development (now Innovation Management). Recently, she had the unique opportunity to talk to the Second Mayor of Hamburg, Katharina Fegebank, about her experiences, her motivation and her personal challenges. Kumru and the Second Mayor met at the annual Hamburg Senate Reception for International Students at the Hamburg city hall. Read on for Kumru鈥檚 story which she told us at a recent interview.
