(graduated in 2011)
Project Manager Marketing & Sales, EF Education First, Vienna 

"Travelling, learning languages and trying to grasp the socio-economic context of the countries in question has always been an inspiration to me. It was also a major motivational factor to start and continue studying. On these grounds, I was glad to be accepted to join the "International Business Management" Master program at Carinthia University of Applied Sciences in Villach. Learning about international business environments while sharing the room with classmates from all over the world (e.g. Brazil, Russia or China) added some first-hand insights and a kind of “real-life-trial and error” tests to many of the discussed topics.

After graduating, I moved to Vienna where I was given the chance to work as project manager for “EF”, the world’s biggest language travel organizer. For me, flexibility and an open mindset are substantial for any kind of career advancement. Therefore, I am sure that CUAS provided me with a set of useful tools for many challenges yet to come."
