Student life at Magdeburg!
A series of blog posts while I am a student at OVGU (the University of Magdeburg).
If you are a new student at OVGU/DKE or an aspiring one, you might be interested in the posts made in this category!
But first, take a look at the incoming page for the students of computer science here.
In this section, you will find blog posts that would tell you more about how I have spent my time in Magdeburg, specific experiences and advice.
Some noteworthy experiences that make me eligible to speak about things:
I’ve worked as a student at:
- Support Internationals at FIN, OVGU: It’s a project which aims to create content to assist international students in the university’s department of computer science. I worked here from July 2018 till February 2020
- Transfer – und Gruenderzentrum (TUGZ): As a project assistant, very briefly during 2018.
- As a Machine Learning Tutor: During winter semester 2019. This gave me another perspective into student life, this time from the other side of the table. I tutored, mentored, helped my boss set questions, correct answer scripts, analyze student performances.
- As a developer at LegalHorizon AG: During winter semester 2019.
- As a research intern at GEI, Braunschweig: From March 2020 till, I do not know.
- I’m a mentor for DKE students at the university and am a founding member of the Academic Club. While I continue as a mentor, I resigned from the Academic Club due to other priorities in my life.
