What competence did you acquire at ZU that benefits you in your day-to-day work?
"The ability to always keep the big picture in mind, to critically question developments and decisions, to make self-reflective decisions and not to be satisfied with simple answers."
How has studying changed your professional work?
"As an engineer, I have developed a deeper awareness of reflective and self-critical action through my studies, which gives me a broader approach to various tasks.
Studying has enabled me to recognize certain contexts of meaning in the company and to be able to assess them specifically and critically."
Would you study at ZU again and if so, why?
"Absolutely! ZU has allowed me to meet many new interesting people and gain an overall view of the social science challenges in a business context, which I believe is what makes leadership skills possible in the first place."
Why would you recommend studying at ZU?
"In particular, the eMA degree programs make it possible to combine practical experience and theoretical input and to convey a sense of how to act in organizations.
The exchange and discussions within the course with participants from different companies and industries gave an additional broad picture of the complex challenges."
When I look back on my ZU time today...
"... I remember a great time with many interesting people, which went by much too quickly, and a unique view over the lake."
