Ba­che­lor of Sci­ence:
Busi­ness In­for­ma­tics (m/f/d)

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 2022, I have been stu­dy­ing Ap­pli­ed Com­pu­ter Sci­ence as a dual stu­dent at TecAlliance. I par­ti­cu­lar­ly app­re­cia­te the com­pre­hen­si­ve sup­port pro­vi­ded du­ring my prac­ti­cal pha­ses when­ever I have ques­ti­ons. Du­ring my time at TecAlliance, I have had the op­por­tu­ni­ty to gain di­ver­se in­ter­na­tio­nal ex­pe­ri­en­ces. For in­s­tance, du­ring one of my prac­ti­cal pha­ses, I was able to tra­vel to our site in Viet­nam to work on a pro­ject with an in­ter­na­tio­nal team. Ad­di­tio­nal­ly, TecAlliance sup­port­ed me in com­ple­ting a se­mes­ter ab­road in South Ko­rea. Th­rough the­se in­ter­cul­tu­ral ex­pe­ri­en­ces I have gai­ned va­luable skills for my pro­fes­sio­nal and per­so­nal future. 

I am stu­dy­ing ap­pli­ed com­pu­ter sci­ence in the fifth se­mes­ter and, thanks to the sup­port of TecAlliance, I had the op­por­tu­ni­ty to spend a se­mes­ter ab­road in South Ko­rea. This ex­pe­ri­ence gave me va­luable in­ter­na­tio­nal in­sights. Du­ring the prac­ti­cal pha­ses, I work in teams on va­rious pro­jects, which gi­ves me a com­pre­hen­si­ve in­sight into ever­y­day work at TecAlliance. Th­rough the li­vely ex­ch­an­ge with trai­ners and col­le­agues, I can con­ti­nu­al­ly im­pro­ve my skills and gain va­luable prac­ti­cal experience. 

I am stu­dy­ing ap­pli­ed com­pu­ter sci­ence in my fifth se­mes­ter. Du­ring the prac­ti­cal pha­ses, I can work on va­rious pro­jects at TecAlliance. My per­so­nal high­light was cer­tain­ly the rea­li­sa­ti­on of a pro­ject for which a col­le­ague and I were able to tra­vel to Thai­land for a month at our site. Du­ring my work, I be­ne­fit from the con­s­truc­ti­ve but re­la­xed re­la­ti­onship with our trai­ners be­cau­se I can gain so much prac­ti­cal ex­pe­ri­ence. The at­mo­sphe­re among us trai­nees is gre­at, both pro­fes­sio­nal­ly and per­so­nal­ly, so you feel part of the team from day one. 

I star­ted my training as an IT Spe­cia­list for Ap­pli­ca­ti­on De­ve­lo­p­ment in Sep­tem­ber 2022. Sin­ce then, I have lear­ned a lot and have be­co­me more fa­mi­li­ar with TecAlliance. Our trai­ners are al­ways available to help us and pro­vi­de the best so­lu­ti­ons for our ques­ti­ons. I’m re­al­ly hap­py to be a part of TecAlliance and I’m loo­king for­ward to the up­co­ming year!

 

Sin­ce Sep­tem­ber 2021, I have been an ap­pli­ca­ti­on de­ve­lo­per trai­nee at TecAlliance and have had not­hing but po­si­ti­ve ex­pe­ri­en­ces over the ye­ars. Even as a young pro­fes­sio­nal, you are ent­rus­ted with re­spon­si­bi­li­ty and you are sup­port­ed th­roug­hout in all are­as. An­o­ther thing that made my ent­ry into the pro­fes­sio­nal world ea­sier was our lear­ning of­fice, which ta­kes place du­ring the first months of training or stu­dy­ing. Here, we new­co­mers were taught the ba­sics of the job in a very plea­sant working at­mo­sphe­re and ever­yo­ne was able to learn new things at their own pace. 

Du­ring my ad­van­ced training as a tech­ni­ci­an in elec­tri­cal en­gi­nee­ring, I made my first steps with C# and ob­ject-ori­en­ted pro­gramming lan­guage, and knew from then on that this is the right di­rec­tion for me. Af­ter com­ple­ting my fur­ther training, I work­ed in soft­ware de­ve­lo­p­ment for some time. In or­der de­ve­lop pro­fes­sio­nal­ly, I de­ci­ded to pur­sue a dual stu­dy pro­gram be­cau­se I va­lue the prac­ti­cal re­le­van­ce du­ring my stu­dies. Th­rough a fri­end, I lear­ned about TecAlliance and ap­pli­ed di­rect­ly. Curr­ent­ly, I have spent more time in lec­tures than in the of­fice, but I feel very com­for­ta­ble here. 

I have been training as an IT spe­cia­list for ap­pli­ca­ti­on de­ve­lo­p­ment for 5 months. Sin­ce then, we have been in­de­pendent­ly ac­qui­ring new know­ledge on va­rious pro­jects in the lear­ning of­fice. At in­ter­vals of a few weeks, dif­fe­rent trai­ners come to us to help with any pro­blems. The gre­at col­le­agues as well as the plea­sant working at­mo­sphe­re make TecAlliance a good place to learn right from the start.
