The XU is one of the few possibilities to enjoy a modern and practice-oriented education that prepares you for the challenges of the future.

3 questions, 3 answers to the students of XU, this time with Annika, student of Digital Marketing and Social Media. With the Hashtag #xustudentlife, our students will also be giving insights into their student lives in our Instagram story in the coming months. In the next two weeks, it will be Annika, Mona, Karima and Felix.

Why did you choose XU?

The XU is one of the few possibilities to enjoy a modern and practice-oriented education that prepares you for the challenges of the future. In addition, XU, through your direct contact with the industry, offers a unique opportunity to optimally start your studies in the working world. This is possible due to the unique teaching model of the XU, as lessons only take place from Monday to Wednesday. This allows you to work the remaining days of the week, e.g. as a working student, and gain valuable experience during your studies.  

Why did you choose your course of studies?

I chose Digital Business to best prepare myself for all aspects of running a modern, digitized company in the future. Comparable courses at other universities do not offer this broad knowledge base.  

What was important to you when choosing your place to study?

XU’s practice-oriented and industry-focused concept was a decisive factor in my choice. At XU you not only have a connection to reality, but also an existing network in which you find yourself after graduation and which you can already use during your studies. In addition, there are XU’s partnerships, such as with the MediaTechHub Accelerator.
