Stefanie Sommermann | WITRON Logistik + Informatik GmbH
Stefanie Sommermann studied industrial engineering part-time at HDBW in Bamberg alongside her job. In July 2021, she changed jobs and moved to Australia.
In the 2021/22 winter semester, her last semester of study, she was able to attend all lectures remotely thanks to HDBW live video stream. Even the supervision of her bachelor's thesis and the virtual defence were no problem.
This meant that, In March 2022, she was able to graduate with a Bachelor of Engineering degree.
3 QUESTIONS:
Were there things about the HDBW degree programme that are particularly helpful to you now in your professional life?
"The practical structure of the lectures helped me a lot personally. We were able to bring in examples from our everyday working lives at any time, and the diverse mix of students and their professions meant that we were able to pick up a lot. Many of our lecturers have many years of practical experience and have brought a lot of this into their lectures. Especially in the final semesters, it wasn't just a matter of stubbornly memorizing the lecture content. We were able to apply it directly through projects and assignments. So I think you take away a lot more from the topics and content and also learn to speak in front of groups and present your results."
What tips do you have for current students?
"Keep at it - even if it's hard to find the right motivation or things don't go as planned from time to time. Do your best and take it one step at a time."
Can current HDBW students also do internships at your company?
"Students are always welcome to contact me or the HR department directly and apply for an internship or practical semester. I think especially due to Witron's focus, students from all courses of study can benefit from an internship with us."
