Testimonials
I particularly like the split of attendance into two-week module blocks, combined with the ability to live right on campus while completing the semesters. This creates – together with the other, partly international students – an incredibly productive community. Added to this is the successful and experienced organization of the HECTOR School staff. What I like about POM is the high practical relevance of the lectures and the balance between mathematical optimization models and their application in a logistical context. Particularly noteworthy is the high qualification of the lecturers in their fields – it is inspiring to learn from people of that caliber.
My studies have paved the way for me from purely business-related work contents to comprehensive responsibility in general management. It was particularly important to understand the contents, methods and problems of various technical functions. This helps me today to ask the right questions and to make the right decisions. The time at the HECTOR School has helped me overcome my anxieties about independently investigating new topics and putting them into practice. I still find it exciting to discover new topics through literature research, further education or my network of experts and put them into practice. The experience of the master's thesis has helped me immensely with that.
