From Spain to Leipzig: I show you my experience at Lancaster University Leipzig By: Angela Garcia Pina From Extremadura to Leipzig, my academic journey has been a journey both geographically and personally. After completing my degree in Industrial Organization Engineering in Seville, I decided that I wanted to specialize further and explore the field of supply chain and logistics, a field that caught my interest during my undergraduate studies. Although there was a fear of specializing too much in a specific branch of engineering, curiosity and a desire to get out of my comfort zone led me to live my experience at Lancaster University Leipzig. Here I have found a program that has not only met, but exceeded my expectations. This decision led me to choose the MSc Logistics and Supply Chain Management at Lancaster University Leipzig, a programme that stands out for its practical approach. The classes focus on practical cases that allow us to see the direct application of theory in real situations, which is essential in the world of logistics. This methodology has confirmed to me that I am on the right track and has further awakened my passion for this sector. The diversity of the classroom, with classmates from all over the world, enriches each session, allowing me to learn different approaches and working styles. The previous work experience of many of my classmates adds depth to our discussions, making each class a source of inspiration and continuous learning. In addition to my academic training, my experience at Lancaster University Leipzig has been key to my professional development. The job search, a personal effort, was supported by the Student Services team for the necessary paperwork. Although finding the right positions requires time and dedication, my experience shows that there are significant opportunities for workers, especially in Leipzig and Cologne, where I focused my search. As I progressed professionally, the city of Leipzig offered me a very enriching environment. It is a city that has it all: vibrant university life, a rich architectural history, and a cultural scene that never fails to impress. From the peaceful Johannapark, ideal for a picnic or just relaxing, to its historic bars and buildings, every corner of Leipzig offers something unique. Studying here has not only been an academic education, but also a cultural one. Looking back on my decision to study at Lancaster University Leipzig, I am convinced that taking risks and stepping out of your comfort zone brings invaluable rewards. I am excited to bring these experiences back to Spain and apply what I have learned in my professional future. If you are considering studying abroad and are interested in delving deeper into management, I encourage you to consider Lancaster University Leipzig as your next academic destination. I am sure that the Plan Zero team will make this experience easy and unique. You are one step away from living an experience at Lancaster University Leipzig and boosting your international profile.
