Is there a particularly significant experience you would like to tell about?
One of the most impactful experiences during my education was my Bachelor's thesis, conducted with a local company. This project presented a real industrial challenge, allowing me to learn how to manage a project independently and collaborate effectively with others. Additionally, working during my master’s program provided a valuable opportunity to contribute to research projects and gain practical experience in the professional world.
What would you recommend to a current and/or prospective student?
The best advice I can give is to find the path of study that you most prefer, even exploring new or unfamiliar subjects.
