Friederike, M.Sc. Sustainability Science in Lüneburg
How did the interdisciplinary Bachelor's degree prepare you for your Master's degree?
As my Master's course was also very interdisciplinary, the Bachelor's prepared me very well for it. I was also able to build on a lot of what I had learned in my Bachelor's degree and there was a lot of overlap in terms of content.
Jule, M.Sc. Ecology, Evolution and Conservation in Potsdam
Which Master's subjects or programs did you look at - and why did you choose yours?
In the broadest sense, everything with ecology and nature conservation in Germany and Sweden. The applications in Sweden went wrong because of a formal error. Then I only had the choice between two universities. I am very happy that I chose Potsdam. The nature is super diverse and so was the degree program.
Selina, M.Phil. Global development Theory and Practice in Bergen (Norway)
Which skills or perspectives from your Bachelor's degree are particularly helpful in your Master's degree?
I think the perspective of a fundamental openness and sincere recognition of different areas of study and their methodologies has helped me a lot in my Master's and beyond. Many interdisciplinary groups [...] are made up of people from different disciplines, which often leads to intense discussions [...]. Overcoming this hurdle and perhaps even bridging it for the team is incredibly helpful and can even be a real competitive advantage.
Sophia, Project Engineer at CDM Smith
How is your study profile perceived by employers?
Very well! I consistently receive interested and positive feedback on my course description and also on the topic of my bachelor's thesis (mindfulness and climate anxiety), even though the content of this does not directly intersect with my current job.
