Tell us a little bit about yourself.

I am from Munich and I grew up in the south of Munich, very near to the Alps. I love hiking and exploring the Bavarian nature. 

What brought you to London Met?

I wanted to move out of my hometown and especially Germany for a while, to see what it’s like to live in another country. London Met seemed like the best university for me because it has such an open-minded culture and so many different study courses. 

What does studying at London Met mean to you?  

It means a lot to me, it was very difficult to decide where to study and the whole process of finding the right university was very exhausting. That’s why I'm pretty happy that I found such a great place like London Met. 

What is your biggest passion in life and where did that passion come from?

I love to work out in many different ways. Before my studies at London Met I just focussed on solo sport, and that’s why I'm really happy to get the chance to participate in so many group sports like cheerleading at our University. 

What drives you?  

My friends and family are a big drive and inspiration for me. Even if we are separated at the moment, they are my biggest blessing and help me to push through hard times.

What’s the proudest moment in your life?  

Last summer I finished my first triathlon, I was very proud and happy because the training was definitely a big challenge. 

What’s next in your career?

I would love to find a real estate related placement alongside my studies to gain more work experience. After finishing my masters' course I would like to apply for the Graduate Visa to be able to stay in the UK for a longer time to find a full-time job. 

Do you have any advice for anyone else considering studying at London Met?

Try to provide all the important information as early as possible to the University to avoid a hectic start in your first semester.

What’s your favorite space at London Met and why?

I really love the free library at London Met. You can not only borrow University-related books, there is also a “read for pleasure” department where you can borrow many bestsellers and fun books.

What’s your favorite place in London and why? 

My favorite area in London is Shoreditch. There are so many young inspiring people and little shops. The atmosphere is really amazing and there is a lot to see.
