Portfolio of Testimonials for the MSc Precision Engineering of the University of Bern and Bern University of Applied Sciences
Student Testimonial
Yannick Pringalle, PrE Student
"I am driven by a lifelong enthusiasm for designing and fabricating precise micro-scale components, inspired by my strong interest in micromechanics. In my MSc at DTU, Denmark, 1 design and fabricate ultrasound-based microfluidic chambers in cleanrooms to study protein assembly in disease. This work allows me to combine my passion for precision engineering with advanced experimental research and contribute to innovation in the field."
Student Testimonial
Jamie Rogg, PrE Student
"I always wanted to combine my passion for Precision and Micro Engineering with Space Science and Technology. A master thesis at ESA-ESTEC in the Netherlands in the field of Materials Engineering, Manufacturing and Assembly will be a unique opportunity to enter this fascinating world."
Student Testimonial
Patrice Steinacher, PrE Student
"l've always wanted to build on my engineering background and learn more through research. Studying ultra-precision technology at the University of Bern is the perfect next step for me to strengthen my skills, work with advanced technologies, and connect my interest in advanced mechanical engineering with serious scientific work."
Student Testimonial
Rafael Philipona, PrE Student
"In my Master thesis in Precision Engineering, I want to contribute to a future powered by clean energy through fusion technology. Doing this in the United Kingdom is a great opportunity to grow cademically and personally- and to improve my language skills."
Student Testimonial
Michaël Magnin, PrE Student
"I had the dream of pursuing my master's thesis abroad, exploring how to combine rigid robotics with biological inspirations. Today, being at the National University of Singapore (NUS), the best university in Asia, is an incredible step in my personal and professional development and a unique opportunity to discover entirely new ways of working"
Student Testimonial
Iuliia Baranova, PrE Student
"From the moment I first had the opportunity to visit Empa, I’ve been really impressed with their state-of-the-art facilities and equipment. Now that I’ve started the Creative Engineering Lab project with Empa, I’m even more amazed by the people. Not only are they friendly, but they’re also incredibly helpful. Empa has everything I could possibly need for my research, from XRD and TEM to Scanning Electron Microscopes. With proper supervision and instruction, I can jump right into my work. As someone with a materials science background, having access to such advanced resources is truly fantastic! What's even more remarkable is the extensive support available for research and innovation throughout Switzerland. There’s significant funding available, so if you have an idea, you can really bring it to life. In my previous studies, options like this weren’t as easily accessible, and it’s been a game changer for my research and my future."
