Takeaways from the UAS7 SIP - Alumna Martina C. Alles shares her journey

Studying abroad can be a life-changing experience for students. The benefits to your education and career are countless, from enhancing your global network to experiencing a new culture. It’s no wonder that the number of students earning a degree outside of their home country is increasing yearly.  

Martina Comiotto Alles studied Nutrition at our partner university in Brazil - Unisinos. With the UAS7 Study & Internship Program, she spent three semesters as a guest student at Hochschule Osnabrück, while doing an internship at a food technology company (Elea). She talks about the tremendous benefits to her education and career:

This experience brought many positive things in my life. First, I could publish the results of my research in an international journal. I also won an award for my internship project, about insects. It was the Campus Prize at the Food Future Day in 2020, which was organized by the university. And lastly, I actually stayed (working) at Elea, I kept working in the R&D department.

After working at a German company for about 3 years, Martina decided to follow up on her studies and pursue a master’s degree in Food Science and Technology, at the KU Leuven in Belgium.
