My goal was to get a holistic picture over business management as well as to understand the key drivers of success both from a leadership and organisational perspective. For my specialisation, I mostly chose subjects from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frankfurt-school.de\/en\/home\/programmes\/master\/management\/digital-business-technology-operations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Digital Business field<\/a> as I believe these are highly relevant to keep up with market developments and\u00a0to establish an \u201cinnovator\u201d mentality.<\/p>\n<p>During the programme, I had the opportunity to get to know inspiring people, many of whom became friends. The multitude of interests and backgrounds made these 2 years a unique experience. Everyone had the opportunity to exchange views and many hours in class were spent debating. Moreover, the great emphasis on group work and presentations helped me overcome the fear of speaking in front of an audience and taught me how to efficiently and effectively deliver the best results in a limited amount of time.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Studying and living in Frankfurt<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Studying in Frankfurt is a great choice due to its open and international community and the great amount of employers for both English and German speakers. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frankfurt-school.de\/en\/home\/about\/career-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Career opportunities<\/a> vary from financial and banking sector to automotive, such as Kia or healthcare, such as Fresenius or Merck. I would highly advise you to use the time as a student to get to know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8TTX0UT2T9s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">as many companies as possible<\/a> during your studies! During my Master, I worked at UBS and I have written a whole blog about balancing working and studying\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/deu01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.frankfurt-school.de%2Fpart-time-analyst-at-cooperation-partner-ubs%2F%3Flang%3Dde&amp;data=04%7C01%7CG.Crossley%40fs.de%7Ce7d30dc5bf824e6726cf08d8c1fa4cbc%7Ca2c3fa6a779945978eb66786dbbca091%7C0%7C0%7C637472628066457635%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=zdtijFgnAYKZQW6Mk4qymA81Vwat8gq363Ovm%2Bp%2Bqu0%3D&amp;reserved=0\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Being an international city,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.frankfurt-school.de\/en\/home\/about\/life-in-frankfurt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Frankfurt<\/a> always felt like a second home. Starting from a\u00a0wide variety of restaurants and cuisines\u00a0to meeting\u00a0people of all nationalities\u00a0at\u00a0various\u00a0networking events or bars,\u00a0Frankfurt always felt like\u00a0a very outgoing city where the majority\u00a0of people knows\u00a0English. Additionally, there are plenty of locations to visit in the\u00a0surrounding areas\u00a0of Frankfurt such as old castles in the Taunus woods, wineries in the Rheingau\u00a0regions, small and cute cities such as Eltville or Seligenstadt and many more. The fact that you can\u00a0have a quick weekend\u00a0escape\u00a0from Frankfurt anytime\u00a0and find yourself in a completely different atmosphere\u00a0makes the experience even more attractive.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>After MiM<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Currently, I am employed as a Trainee at the European Central Bank in the Supervisory Strategy and Risk Directorate. As part of my tasks, I have the great honour to support the supervision of banks in the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) and investigate\u00a0topics\u00a0such as governance, climate\u00a0and\u00a0cyber risk.\u00a0Having joined\u00a0during\u00a0the\u00a0restructuring of the SSM, I am happy to help build the new structure and contribute to the long-term prosperity of the banking sector.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With\u00a0a background in Finance and Engineering, I chose to pursue the Master in Management at Frankfurt School.
