Studying AI in Australia: Research, Learning, and the Wild

Julia Schoenthaler

When deciding where to spend my study abroad semester, the University of Melbourne quickly became my first choice. It had long been a dream destination for me because of its strong academic reputation and its focus on research-driven learning. Studying here offers the opportunity to apply methods I have learned during my master’s program in a new academic environment while also gaining exposure to world-class research.

Hard Seltzer is here to stay – How I founded my own company during the BSc at FS
Jonathan Georg
During the 6th semester of the BSc in Business Administration - Banking and Finance, I have founded MAZU – a beverage company producing MAZU HARD SELTZER – together with two fellow students, Björn Thieme and Moritz Groppel. This is the story how it happened.
Why South Korea? This was the question many people asked me when they heard about my plans to spend my semester abroad at Hanyang University, in Seoul. Actually, even I myself had some doubts about my plans to travel to a country that most people only know because of Samsung or LG.

Erasmus+ programme: Exchange at BI Norwegian Business School in Oslo
Alexander Rex
I spent my semester abroad at BI Norwegian Business School, the biggest business school in Norway and the second largest business school in Europe with about 20.000 students. BI stands for Bedriftsøkonomisk Institutt, which translates to business school in Norwegian and was founded in 1943.
Just before my semester abroad, I associated Australia with a lot of nature, the outback and beautiful beaches. I did not expect to find one of the most prestigious universities in the world there, especially in the field of business.

Part-time MBA: Experiencing CEIBS and Shanghai

Aslam Khadaroo

One of the highlights of the Frankfurt School Part-time MBA is the one-week module abroad at CEIBS in Shanghai. It was one of the most exciting parts of the programme, many of us were looking forward to it and it was a fantastic experience for every student.

Life at Columbia
Michael Gritzbach
About one month ago, I got off the New York Metro at 116th street to visit a place the students there call the most impressive campus in the most impressive city. I walked past the two statues and the iron gate between them to then find myself walking on a red street lined with trees toward the Low Plaza in the middle of the Campus. A few moments later, I found myself between the “Alma Mater” statue, behind it the Low Library, which literally looks like a temple of knowledge with its dome and its pillars.
Chaotic, bamboozling, intoxicating, crazy, exasperating, wonderful, squalid, beautiful, daunting, overwhelming, and fantastic.” That’s how Lonely Planet Author Daniel McCrohan describes India. And I cannot find other words that better describe the last three months that I have spent there. I have always been fascinated by the Indian culture but I never really dared to explore India by myself.

Insider tip: International week in Paris

Sven Bassler

Learn more about finance and improve your English language skills - your first idea would not be Paris, would it? This was at least my opinion. After the International Week, I changed my mind completely. It was especially the topics, in combination with the culinary possibilities, which quickly convinced me to take part in the trip to France which is part of my Bachelor of Arts studies.

My PhD Visit at the NYU Courant Institute of Mathematical Science

Lorenzo Schönleber

I fell in love with New York City after interning for a Real Estate Funds in 2014. I knew from my time in NYC as an intern that I had to go back to additionally benefit from the extensive research facilities and the possibilities NYC offers.
