While many students spend their afternoons working on assignments, Iuliia Kuzminova is building her first company. The International Business and Economics bachelor's student at Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg is developing a startup together with her co-founder, Sajjad Khawari, with the aim of improving early cancer detection.

An interdisciplinary team at the University of Magdeburg has developed a serious game designed to help international students settle in Magdeburg.

Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg not only wants to educate international talent, but also attract and retain them in the region. The example of Adeel Inayat Asim shows that this approach is successful: he came to Magdeburg from Pakistan, studied electrical engineering at the University of Magdeburg and now works as an electrical engineer in an industrial company in the region. The ‘FIT for Career Start’ certificate programme played a decisive role in helping him achieve this.
