To promote our seven Universities of Applied Sciences in North America, UAS7 usually engages in several Study Abroad and Career Fairs at our partner universities each fall. This year, everything has changed - and we decided to go virtual!

Watch the recording of our online information session about the Study & Internship Program to Germany, which we recorded on Sept. 15, 2020 together with UAlbany Study Abroad.

David Driscoll studied abroad at HAW Hamburg in 2009 as part of the UAS7 Study and Internship Program. Today he works as a Senior Designer for the Peter Schmidt Group in Munich. But it all started with a glimpse of his German heritage in 1997.

Danielle Kline participated in the UAS7 Study Program in Spring 2018 during her undergraduate studies in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh. After returning to the U.S., Danielle became a Peer Advisor at her home university's Study Abroad Office. She is now completing her graduate studies in Pittsburgh. In an interview with UAS7 intern Inga, she looks back at her experience in Hamburg.

Elizabeth Haeckler, a Chemical Engineering student at the University of Pittsburgh, participated in the UAS7 Study Program in spring 2019. For one term, Liz was enrolled in the Engineering and Management program at Munich University of Applied Sciences (MUAS).

Austin Omolo, a Chemical Engineering student at Drexel University, participated in the UAS7 Internship Program this spring.

People working in global education are often asked does study abroad really have any impact; do students really go on to work in a different country or in international careers. Sometimes the world is very small and study abroad can be a little bit of serendipity...

Danielle Kline, 20-year old mechanical engineering exchange student from the University of Pittsburgh, wanted to be in Germany. That was the plan from the time she was on school exchange.
