Understanding biology, modelling technical processes and, ultimately, winning an award for her own Bachelor’s thesis: for Isabel Bühnemann, the path through the Bachelor’s degree programme in Biosystems Engineering led to the Association of German Engineers (VDI) sponsorship award. 

Through the Blended Intensive Programmes run by the EU GREEN University Alliance, students can study for a short period at a partner university in Europe, collaborate with students from different countries and, in doing so, broaden their academic horizons beyond their own field of study. Nour Elsayed took advantage of one such opportunity in the summer of 2026. 

For Elicia Vetter and Lucie Kolbe, physical education classes this summer term were different from usual. Normally, the two teacher-training students attend their sports science modules – their minor subject – on the university campus. This time, however, their studies took them to the University of Jyväskylä in Finland for five days.
