A short Q&A with our scholarship holder

Who are you?
My name is Jakob Wimmer and I´m studying Biomedical Engineering at Graz University of Technology.

Where are you from?
I moved to Graz for my studies, before I lived about 40min away from Graz near Hartberg-Fürstenfeld.

What are you doing?
I´m concentrating in doing a Master in Biomedical Engineering with a focus on Biomechanics.>

Hobbies?
I regularly do weight training, go running, play the piano and am passionate about watching movies.

What are your plans after graduation?
Currently I´m planning to start a PhD program, however I have the idea of doing a second technical master's degree before.

What does the scholarship mean to you?
I was already very proud to be on the Dean's List, but getting the scholarship was "the cherry on top of the cake".

What are you going to do with the scholarship?
I will save most of the money, but I will definitely use some of it for one or the other trip, when possible again.

Do you work alongside your studies?
I have been working for more than 3 years as a development engineer at a medical technology company in Graz, where I can directly apply my acquired knowledge in practice.

Will anything change with the scholarship?
In any case, life is more relaxed when you have financial reserves that you can access.

Only the best of the best even have a chance at the scholarship. What is your secret for your outstanding achievements?
Probably time management is the most important thing. I try not to work tightly towards deadlines, but to prepare for exams or submissions as early as possible. It is also important to really understand what you are learning rather than just studying for exams.

Thank you!
