From Turkey to the world: My international educational journey
My name is Can Tetik and I am originally from Turkey. Before coming to Germany, I spent some time in the United Kingdom and the United States, where I completed my high school education. My educational journey includes attending international schools, which inspired me to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Entrepreneurship. After my first job, I decided to move to Germany to continue my studies as I have family in Oberursel.
Why I chose Marketing at accadis: A diverse and practical program
I chose Marketing because the program at accadis is diverse and includes not only Marketing but also various business modules. It focuses on practical, real-world solutions, which is essential for a comprehensive understanding of the business world. The hands-on approach and the inclusion of real-world projects made this program particularly appealing to me.
Discovering accadis: How I found my ideal university
Having a family in Oberursel for the past three years, I was familiar with the area and often saw flyers and advertisements for accadis. The international focus and the use of English as the primary language of instruction were important factors in my decision. In addition, the prompt and efficient responses from the accadis team, reflecting an American approach to customer service, made me feel welcome and valued.
What makes accadis different: Flexibility, Individuality and a European Perspective
One of the most exciting aspects of accadis is the opportunity to go abroad again during the semester, which is not very common. The international curriculum is a strong selling point. accadis is smaller than my previous university, which means there is more individuality in the curriculum, social interactions, and connections with lecturers. Classes are more flexible and allow for experimentation, with a strong focus on academic structure. Learning from a European perspective, especially in business practices and culture, has been very interesting and enriching.
Advice for Prospective Students Considering Studying in Germany
Planning is essential before arriving in Germany. It's important to learn the basics of the language as it will help you in your career and social life. I recommend that prospective students focus on building a social life and finding a community. Getting involved in local clubs or sports teams can be very beneficial.
Navigating internships and work experience: The Importance of German Language Skills
Speaking German at least at the B1/B2 level is essential for internships and work experience. Learning German during your studies can be challenging, so it may be helpful to focus on language acquisition before you begin your studies.
