like coming to london as a as a german a young young german in that well i mean you

know what what a city what a city i mean totally i mean i must have walked through the streets of the city of london with my mouth open a half of the time it was just a because I always had a very keen interest in architecture, the most exciting city architecturally for me in Europe, because I love modern architecture.

But I would say after that time in London with Dresdner Bank, it really became clear to me Yeah, I need to now make a move and start my studies as I had planned.

And so I was lucky enough to get into a very popular course, which was a fully integrated European business course with a partner university in Cambridge and in Berlin.

It was a bi... a bilingual course and binational course, half of the time spent on the Cambridge campus, half of the time on the Berlin campus, and then one placement year abroad.

For me, it was a year in New York working for two banks.

And the funny thing is when people talk about their time at university and get asked what was really the most valuable part of your university days, I would say for me it was the placement year.

Give us a bit of an insight into that.
