The exams are over and now it's time for Christmas! A good opportunity for me to visit my family. I haven't seen them for three years, but I flew to Cameroon on Tuesday.
I'm now taking some time off here before going back to university in France. Happy holidays to you all!


In Paris, the lecture period is already over and preparations for the exams are in full swing!
There are no more lectures and students are mainly studying from home.
Practice, practice, practice is the order of the day!
It's just the last week before the exam preparations begin... The exams start in three weeks!
Before everything starts, I went on a little tour of Paris. You can see the Arc de Triomphe and Pont Alexandre here, as well as some delicious food from a restaurant on the famous Champs Elysées.
From now on it's time to visit the library every day!

Today was a special day on campus, not an everyday day of lectures.
We had a lively meeting with other Master's students from our faculty. In groups of two, we exchanged professional and academic perspectives and experiences of the others.
It was very informative and exciting and we had a lot of fun!
As part of a case study in the Organizational Management module, we spend two days at the "Conseil Régional d'Ile de France" as Counsellors. The Flex Office working model is being introduced in the institution and we are investigating and accompanying this introduction. The training in Paris Saclay is very practice-oriented in order to prepare students for the world of work.
It's time for the tourism program!
This week is a little quieter at university - perfect for visiting Paris. Starting, of course, with the world-famous "La Tour Eiffel". It is particularly beautiful at night as it is spectacularly illuminated in the dark evening hours. There are always lots of people there and many activities take place around it.
However, due to the current situation, the lighting is ended earlier and is no longer illuminated after 11 pm.

For the past three days, I have been working with a student association to organize a welcome party.
In addition to the lectures, there is a wide range of activities at the university. Students from all faculties take part.
Of course, you have to have the time, but it's also a great way to make new friends.
Today I went to the library after lectures. We have lots of subjects that you can follow up and repeat. The @universite_paris_saclay has many libraries, especially the one of my Faculty of Buisness and Law is beautiful, well structured and particularly modern. I'm looking forward to studying here!
Je suis trés impatiente!
I have financial management, finance and organizational management. All the courses are very practical, just like in Kiel.
Today was the first lecture!
I was able to get to know the other students from my Master's program. Everyone is very friendly.
The lecture is almost like in Kiel, everything takes place in small groups.
Afterwards we tried out the canteen. Delicious and very cheap, €3.30 for each meal is great!

Today was the first day!
We went on a campus tour and received our certificates. Afterwards, we had drinks and snacks and met the other internationals for the first time. The Erasmus students come from Italy, Belgium, Ireland, Germany and China, for example.
Everyone has been very nice and open-minded so far and I really liked the faculty!
I had a good trip, but it took a really long time! Thank goodness for the ICE!
I've already moved into a hall of residence in Paris. I had my certificate of arrival signed on site and picked up my student ID.
