Research & Development Intern; University of Rosenheim, Germany

James having a beer with his co-workers

“As a research and development intern at the University of Rosenheim in Germany, I have had the pleasure of immersing myself in a new culture both inside and outside of work.

The opportunity to live and work in another country without permanent employment has been cherished due to the finite timeline of the internship, allowing for a valuable experience without a long-term commitment.

Lastly, gaining insights into the forest industry in another country has been exceptionally interesting, highlighting both similarities and differences. For students interested in traveling or participating in an exchange study program, international co-op should be considered as a more productive alternative.”
