Von Pakistan an die HM! 🌏
Rimsha Iftikhar kommt ursprünglich aus Pakistan und studiert aktuell “Offshore Engineering” an der Universität Bologna in Italien. An der HM absolvierte sie ein Austauschsemester an der Fakultät für Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen durch das Erasmus-Förderprogramm der EU. Im Interview erzählt sie von ihren persönlichen Highlights.
❓ What was the biggest difference compared to your home university?
💬 The very practical and interactive approach at HM: there was a strong focus on group work, projects and applying what we learned to real-life situations. I also really enjoyed working with students from different countries and getting to know different perspectives.
❓ What will you take back home from this experience?
💬 I’m taking back much more than just academic knowledge. Living and studying in a new country has made me more independent, open-minded, and confident. I’m also taking back a new perspective on education, especially the value of interdisciplinary learning, practical projects and having the freedom to explore different subjects. Most importantly, I’m taking back international friendships, beautiful memories, and experiences that I’ll carry with me for a long time.
❓ What was the highlight of your time in Munich?
💬 My biggest highlight was the people I met and the experiences we shared. The International Club and iClub@MUSA made my stay especially memorable and gave me the opportunity to meet students from many different countries. Whether it was hiking, exploring Munich, travelling, joining activities, or simply spending time together, these moments became some of my favourite memories.
