What after?

Hi all,

I guess most of the new applicants would be worried with this question the most, so now that we are finishing the 5th edition I thought I could share some of our experiences with you on what after the program. First of all the school all the three universities will help you a lot in finding the internships with their regulations in place off course. It has some rules to be followed if you are taking the internship/thesis with a company. After that its up to you to impress the company that you are suitable candidate for them. There is a common misconception that EU citizens would get the internships very easily compared to Non EU. But it all boils down to your skill set, experience and language ability. The language skills are very important if you wish to be employed in Europe. So please focus on your language skills dont neglect them. All most all the European firms requires either local language skills or proficiency in other European language. Some of our seniors got the jobs with the firms they did the internship, some of them went for Phd programs and some of them wanted to be entrepreneurs, from our batch we should wait and see what happens. But as mentioned everything comes down to you, you would be given a chance and its up to you to make use of it. Wish you all the best for the new applicants.. have fun... its an amazing experience....
