Discover Your VUture

YOU ARE A

Bookworm

Studying is a wonderful opportunity: you have years of time and you can immerse yourself in what you find interesting. Learning itself is not always necessarily fun, but you enjoy the insights you gain from it and the broadening of your horizons. You are very curious and are always looking for ways to gain new knowledge. During your studies, this can be done by delving into the depths of your own study or by broadening your horizons with subsidiary subjects or a minor in other disciplines. Whatever you choose, you will get the most from your studies.

Strength

Due to your high effort, you get a lot from your studies. This gives you an advantage that only builds up during your studies. You see how things are connected and how broad knowledge advances the world or society. 

Pitfall

Your study time gives you the opportunity to develop much more than just your knowledge. Don't forget to also take opportunities outside your subjects to develop new skills, to bridge to the world outside the university to think about what you want to do after your studies.
