    #In the Middle of Practice

    A semester abroad in Schotland

    "I decided to upskill with a master’s program in Business Intelligence and Data Science at ISM Hamburg. Little did I know that this decision would open the door to one of the most enriching experiences of my life — an exchange semester at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. Scotland offered the perfect mix of innovative learning experiences and stunning natural beauty. Here’s a glimpse into my incredible journey. This exchange semester was more than just an academic journey – it was a transformative experience. From honing my data science skills to exploring Scotland's mesmerizing landscapes, I lived these three months to the fullest.

    The academic routine at Strathclyde emphasized self-study and exploration. With only three subjects and few weekly classes, I found myself diving deep into independent projects."
