How did the degree prepare you for what you do today?
"The interdisciplinary approach of the Communication & Cultural Management bachelor's program taught me how to quickly familiarize myself with complex processes and issues. I still benefit very specifically in my daily work from courses such as cultural financing, marketing, and art theory."
When I look back on my ZU days today...
"...I think of the fact that I met some of my most valuable friends at Lake Constance."
