Come out to network! This is a great opportunity for German expats to meet and for other German speaking/practicing to improve your German. Speaking German is encouraged but not required. We meet every month (every other month will be in Birmingham).
What does “Stammtisch” mean? A Stammtisch is an informal group meeting held on a regular basis, and also the usually large table around which the group meets. A Stammtisch is not a structured meeting, but rather a friendly and casual get-together.
Germany is a country with excellent, affordable universities and world-renowned companies. It offers students many opportunities to pursue studies and internships.
Please join us for a talk with Florian Schwille, who will share how to navigate studying and interning in Germany.
Florian is a student (final year) of B.Sc. International Management Double Degree German-Irish (IMX) at the ESB Business School and the DCU Business School. He spent the first part of this year in Alabama as an intern at Mercedes-Benz U.S. International. He is currently back in school in Dublin.
