"The course is very broadly based. In addition to modules in project management, technology, business administration and natural sciences, we also learned a lot about logistics, IT, marketing and systems thinking. We also attended individual interdisciplinary modules in the humanities and social sciences. The highlight of interdisciplinarity for me was working in the “Project Oriented Learning Environment”. In the course of the POLE project, we learned to discuss ideas, concepts and methods with students from different fields of study and countries and to develop a joint solution."
