Ba­che­lor of Sci­ence:
Ap­pli­ed Com­pu­ter Sci­ence (m/f/d)

It is ex­ci­ting to see how the path de­ve­lo­ps. Af­ter all, an­yo­ne who works in IT is con­stant­ly dis­co­ve­ring new and in­te­res­t­ing op­por­tu­ni­ties. I star­ted at TecAlliance with an app­ren­ti­ce­ship as an IT spe­cia­list for ap­pli­ca­ti­on de­ve­lo­p­ment and have been stu­dy­ing Busi­ness In­for­ma­tics sin­ce 2023. I was able to im­ple­ment my last two pro­jects in the IT se­cu­ri­ty and data pro­tec­tion team, which is exact­ly the area in which I would like to de­ve­lop fur­ther. A spe­cial high­light for me was that I was able to tra­vel to our lo­ca­ti­on in Viet­nam for th­ree weeks to work the­re. I got to know gre­at col­le­agues, ex­pe­ri­en­ced a new cul­tu­re and it was a gre­at time that I would re­peat at any time. 

Sin­ce Sep­tem­ber 2023 i am dual stu­dent of In­ter­na­tio­nal Busi­ness in TecAlliance. Be­fo­re even start­ing in Sep­tem­ber of 2023 ever­yo­ne in the or­ga­niza­ti­on was al­re­a­dy hel­ping me with the who­le or­ga­niza­ti­on be­fo­re ar­ri­ving to Ger­ma­ny be­cau­se i was still li­ving in Gua­te­ma­la and they made the pro­cess feel ea­sier than it was. From the first mo­ment i have felt wel­co­me here be­cau­se ever­yo­ne is so fri­end­ly and open to teach you new things. Here they also watch over your cul­tu­ral de­ve­lo­p­ment th­rough dif­fe­rent op­por­tu­ni­ties like in 2024 i was able to have a ro­ta­ti­on in the Of­fice of Bang­kok Thai­land which is de­fi­ni­te­ly a High­light of my studies. 

Sin­ce Oc­to­ber 2024, I have been stu­dy­ing Ap­pli­ed Com­pu­ter Sci­ence in a dual pro­gram in co­ope­ra­ti­on with TecAlliance. Af­ter gra­dua­ting from high school, I didn’t have any for­mal training, but I have al­ways been in­te­res­ted in tech­ni­cal to­pics. I found al­go­rith­ms and data struc­tures par­ti­cu­lar­ly fa­sci­na­ting ear­ly on, as they form the foun­da­ti­on for many in­no­va­ti­ve ap­pli­ca­ti­ons and re­al­ly show how di­ver­se com­pu­ter sci­ence can be.The dual stu­dy pro­gram of­fers me the per­fect com­bi­na­ti­on of theo­ry and practice—this mix mo­ti­va­tes me every day. An­o­ther im­portant fac­tor for me is the team: working tog­e­ther with de­di­ca­ted col­le­agues crea­tes a po­si­ti­ve work at­mo­sphe­re whe­re I can de­ve­lop both pro­fes­sio­nal­ly and per­so­nal­ly. I look for­ward to working on ex­ci­ting pro­jects with the team, gai­ning new ex­pe­ri­en­ces, and ex­plo­ring the dif­fe­rent are­as at TecAlliance. 

I have been with TecAlliance sin­ce Sep­tem­ber 2024 and have been stu­dy­ing Di­gi­tal Busi­ness Ma­nage­ment sin­ce Oc­to­ber 2024. The on­boar­ding month be­gan in Sep­tem­ber, du­ring which I got to know the other trai­nees and TecAlliance. What I par­ti­cu­lar­ly like about my stu­dies is the va­rie­ty bet­ween busi­ness ad­mi­nis­tra­ti­on and IT, which is pro­vi­ded by both the cour­ses and the se­mi­nars. I also re­al­ly en­joy the va­rie­ty bet­ween theo­ry and prac­ti­ce. Thanks to my app­ren­ti­ce­ship, which I com­ple­ted be­fo­re my stu­dies, I was able to take a lot with me, both at uni­ver­si­ty and in my working life. In ad­di­ti­on, I can con­ti­nue my per­so­nal and pro­fes­sio­nal de­ve­lo­p­ment th­rough my stu­dies and work. I am loo­king for­ward to gai­ning new ex­pe­ri­en­ces and get­ting to know other are­as of TecAlliance. 

Sin­ce Oc­to­ber 2024, I have been stu­dy­ing on a dual de­gree cour­se in Data Sci­ence and Ar­ti­fi­ci­al In­tel­li­gence as part of the TecAlliance part­ner­ship – an ide­al fur­ther de­ve­lo­p­ment of my pre­vious training. The cour­se com­bi­nes prac­ti­cal work in the com­pa­ny with in-depth theo­re­ti­cal con­tent at the uni­ver­si­ty. This com­bi­na­ti­on en­ables me to deepen my know­ledge in a tar­ge­ted way and ap­p­ly it di­rect­ly in my day-to-day work. I am par­ti­cu­lar­ly plea­sed with how much I en­joy my dai­ly work and how much I can de­ve­lop pro­fes­sio­nal­ly and personally. 

Sin­ce Oc­to­ber 2024, I have been pur­suing a dual stu­dy pro­gram in Data Sci­ence and Ar­ti­fi­ci­al In­tel­li­gence in co­ope­ra­ti­on with TecAlliance. Be­fo­re that, I com­ple­ted my A‑levels; while I hadn’t had much di­rect ex­po­sure to com­pu­ter sci­ence at the time, I had al­ways been in­te­res­ted in tech­ni­cal and data-dri­ven to­pics. The dual pro­gram al­lows me to com­bi­ne aca­de­mic theo­ry with prac­ti­cal ex­pe­ri­ence in a way that I find espe­ci­al­ly re­war­ding. I par­ti­cu­lar­ly en­joy the ba­lan­ce bet­ween uni­ver­si­ty and hands-on work, and the po­si­ti­ve working en­vi­ron­ment at TecAlliance mo­ti­va­tes me to grow both pro­fes­sio­nal­ly and personally. 

I have been stu­dy­ing In­ter­na­tio­nal Busi­ness at TecAlliance sin­ce Sep­tem­ber 2024.
What I par­ti­cu­lar­ly like about my stu­dies is the in­ter­na­tio­nal fo­cus. Our lec­tu­r­ers come from dif­fe­rent count­ries all over the world and bring di­ver­se per­spec­ti­ves with them – this makes the lec­tures ex­ci­ting and very va­ried.
What I par­ti­cu­lar­ly like about TecAlliance is the fri­end­ly and in­for­mal working en­vi­ron­ment.
I’m loo­king for­ward to lear­ning a lot more, gai­ning in­ter­na­tio­nal ex­pe­ri­ence and get­ting to know other de­part­ments and are­as of the company. 

Sin­ce 2024, I have been stu­dy­ing Busi­ness In­for­ma­tics in a dual stu­dy pro­gram at TecAlliance, af­ter com­ple­ting my training as a Ma­nage­ment As­sistant for Di­gi­ta­liza­ti­on.
Du­ring my training, I gai­ned in­sights into va­rious are­as and was able to deepen my know­ledge th­rough prac­ti­cal ex­pe­ri­ence – in­clu­ding sup­port­ing the site re­lo­ca­ti­on in Heer­len and working at our of­fices in Mu­nich and Co­lo­gne.
The­se ex­pe­ri­en­ces have si­gni­fi­cant­ly streng­the­ned both my pro­fes­sio­nal skills and per­so­nal development. 

Af­ter com­ple­ting my app­ren­ti­ce­ship, I star­ted my stu­dies in busi­ness in­for­ma­tics in Oc­to­ber 2023. Sin­ce then, I have been able to gain many ex­ci­ting in­sights and ex­pand both my busi­ness and IT know­ledge. I find the ver­sa­ti­li­ty of the de­gree pro­gram par­ti­cu­lar­ly in­te­res­t­ing, as you deal in­ten­si­ve­ly with both busi­ness pro­ces­ses and tech­ni­cal so­lu­ti­ons. I’m loo­king for­ward to the co­ming se­mes­ters and to fur­ther ex­pan­ding my knowledge. 

Hel­lo, my name is Ka­tha­ri­na. I have been stu­dy­ing In­ter­na­tio­nal Busi­ness at DHBW Stutt­gart sin­ce 2023. I am curr­ent­ly spen­ding my fourth se­mes­ter in Is­tan­bul – an ex­ci­ting and en­ri­ching ex­pe­ri­ence.
In the third se­mes­ter, I had the op­por­tu­ni­ty to work with two col­le­agues at one of our lo­ca­ti­ons in Thai­land. This time was very in­s­truc­ti­ve and in­spi­ring, not only pro­fes­sio­nal­ly but also per­so­nal­ly.
What mo­ti­va­tes me the most is the com­bi­na­ti­on of my per­so­nal in­te­rests – tra­ve­ling, dis­co­ve­ring new cul­tures and lear­ning lan­guages – with my stu­dies. I want to con­ti­nue to ex­plo­re cul­tures, broa­den my ho­ri­zons and grow both per­so­nal­ly and professionally. 

I am curr­ent­ly a dual stu­dent in Data Sci­ence and Ar­ti­fi­ci­al In­tel­li­gence th­rough the TecAlliance part­ner­ship, which I be­gan in Oc­to­ber 2023. Sin­ce then, I have gai­ned va­luable theo­re­ti­cal know­ledge at the co­ope­ra­ti­ve uni­ver­si­ty and prac­ti­cal ex­pe­ri­ence at the com­pa­ny.
As an in­ter­na­tio­nal stu­dent, I great­ly app­re­cia­te the strong sup­port I re­cei­ve from both my aca­de­mic in­sti­tu­ti­on and TecAlliance, which helps me na­vi­ga­te any chal­lenges or ques­ti­ons I en­coun­ter.
I’m ex­ci­ted about the jour­ney ahead and look for­ward to of­fi­ci­al­ly be­co­ming a part of the TecAlliance team! 

Sin­ce Sep­tem­ber 2024, I have been stu­dy­ing busi­ness in­for­ma­tics on a dual ba­sis, con­ti­nuing my pro­fes­sio­nal care­er at the same com­pa­ny whe­re I pre­vious­ly com­ple­ted my training as an IT spe­cia­list for ap­pli­ca­ti­on de­ve­lo­p­ment. Even du­ring my training, I was able to gain ex­ci­ting in­sights into va­rious are­as and had the op­por­tu­ni­ty to ac­tively work at lo­ca­ti­ons such as Mu­nich and Co­lo­gne. I par­ti­cu­lar­ly app­re­cia­te the open cor­po­ra­te cul­tu­re – the­re is al­ways so­meone on hand to help you with chal­lenges, which is a gre­at sup­port for the lear­ning pro­cess. I’m loo­king for­ward to fur­ther ex­pan­ding my know­ledge du­ring my stu­dies and un­der­stan­ding the con­nec­tion bet­ween busi­ness and IT even better.
