It was a new experience for me, that our teachers had been working or are still working in companies such as Lufthansa, Pfizer or DHL. Those are some of the most desirable companies for people graduating with a master?s degree in supply chain management. Learning from their work experience and getting insights into those companies, was very beneficial to us students. Moreover, the professors are very approachable and were always there for us, whenever there was any kind of problem or any questions about the subjects.
I also like the broad range of the study program at ISM a lot. I not only learned about my specific area of Logistics & Supply chains, but I also got an overview about the different business sectors like Sales, Finance & Marketing, which helped me to get a deeper understanding of how the different sectors in a company are connected.
Further highlights of the study-program were a consulting project with an actual company and my exchange semester in Budapest, where I got in touch with another European culture.
We also have to do an internship, which is a great way to get insights into a German company. It also helps to make the transition from study-life to work-life easier. During my internship at Schenck Ro Tec, I even got the chance to develop methods to integrate blockchain into the project management department. As the project involved LinkedIn, I also got to work together with the Marketing department. I could therefore make use of the knowledge that I had learned in my previous semesters at ISM.
