I like my Master's programme because it focuses on renewable energy and sustainability, which are current global needs. The Master's programme in Renewable Energy Systems is practical and well structured. I like Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences because the professors are supportive and they clearly explain concepts and answer all my questions.

I like the family environment at the university. Professors and lecturers know you by name and even the canteen staff know what my favourite side dish is on schnitzel day. My degree programme (Health and Social Work, 5th semester) offers me a huge range of future employment opportunities. I can gain a foothold in almost any social organisation later on. But the healthcare sector also has a number of opportunities in store for me. I think hardly any other degree programme is so universal.

What I particularly appreciate about our university is the creative freedom I have as a professor. Another important, positive aspect is the good collegial cooperation, especially in my degree programme team, but also in the entire WISO department. This is not a matter of course at universities.
