STUDENT TESTIMONY FROM TUM Als ich mich für Eurécom beworben habe, wusste ich nicht wo ich landen würde. Ich hatte mir nur auf Google Maps angesehen, dass es irgendwo an der Cote d'azur war, und dass ich ein Diplom von der TélécomParisTech bekommen würde, die anscheinend in Frankreich einen guten Ruf hat. Obwohl Herr Biersack die Uni in seiner Präsentation an der TUM als international beschrieben hatte, war ich über die Zahl der Leute aus verschiedenen Ländern erstaunt als ich dort ankam. Im Rückblick bin ich sehr glücklich mit meiner Entscheidung hierher zu kommen: Ich habe sehr gute Freunde gefunden, habe eine absolut interessante Masterarbeit in einem kleinen Startup bekommen, und habe zwei Jahre an einem Ort gelebt, der für die meisten Leute ein Urlaubstraumziel ist. Ich glaube, dass diese Jahre die besten meines Lebens waren, und kann jedem der an einer internationalen Umfeld und einem Studium in der Richtung Netzwerke und Sicherheit interessiert ist sehr empfehlen, hierher zu kommen. Ich habe mich letztendlich entschlossen, für drei weitere Jahre zu bleiben und meinen PhD an der Eurécom zu machen. Jonas -
