German first-year student Paul Hartwig sees our \u2018walking interview\u2019 as an opportunity to ask as many questions as answer them. Because how do you land a cool job after graduation? Paul may have one eye firmly on the future, but that doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s ignoring the present. \u201cThis lockdown can be quite heavy sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n

One day you walk in the sun, the next through the snow<\/span><\/p>

How do you achieve the goals you set for yourself? This question is often on 19-year-old Paul\u2019s mind. And it doesn\u2019t take long for him to bring it up \u2013 even before we\u2019ve left campus. Paul enjoys hosting events, public speaking, presenting \u2013 but where do you find a job in that line of work? He eventually answers this question himself: by undertaking extracurricular activities that help you gain experience in this area. \u201cIn the beginning, I wasn\u2019t sure that IBCoM (International Bachelor Communication and Media) was the right programme for me. We have a strong focus on the theoretical aspects of the field \u2013 wouldn\u2019t a university of applied sciences suit me better?\u201d Still, by now he\u2019s happy he chose this programme. The subjects are interesting and there\u2019s still enough time to do other things besides studying. He\u2019s currently working with an old friend in Germany on an event scheduled for December. They may get access to a stage in the city Lohne and want to organise a late-night show with live entertainment there.<\/p>\n\n\t
