Noah Jenzer, PrE Student
"In a world that is becoming ever more complex, the smallest components are becoming increasingly important. Precision is not just a technical discipline, but the basis for innovation - and this is precisely where the MSc Precision Engineering comes in."
What were your expectations of the MSc Precision Engineering and how were they met?
Due to my training and my studies at the University of Applied Sciences, a practice-oriented programme was particularly important to me. The MSc Precision Engineering fulfils exactly these expectations. The close connection between the University of Bern and Bern University of Applied Sciences offers an ideal balance of in-depth theoretical knowledge and practical application. The combination of engineering precision, interdisciplinary exchange and innovative approaches is especially impressive.
You are one of the students who work part-time. How does the degree programme help you to balance work and study?
The compact timetable and the flexible structure of the MSc Precision Engineering are decisive advantages.
Thanks to the part-time model, I can seamlessly combine my studies with my work as a development engineer. This means that continuous gained knowledge can directly be applied - and vice versa, valuable insights from industry flow into the master's program.
What are the challenges for you in pursuing a job alongside your studies?
Both studying and working are demanding and require you to set clear priorities and organise yourself efficiently. It is particularly challenging to find the right balance during exam periods or when working on intensive projects with tight deadlines.However, thanks to the support of my employer and the well thought-out structure of the degree programme, I manage to successfully master both areas.
Is there anything that has surprised you about the degree programme so far?
The biggest surprise is the enormous interdisciplinary diversity of the master's program.
Hardly any two students have the same bachelor's degree - this creates a unique learning atmosphere. By working together, we benefit from a broad spectrum of knowledge and different perspectives. This dynamic exchange with students coming from all around the globe makes the MSc Precision Engineering even more exciting and relevant to practice.
