TESTIMONY

Teuku Meurah Alvinazla

Bachelor Student of Mechanical Engineering UKM

Double Degree Programme UKM-UDE Winter Semester 2023


"Studying and living in Germany has its pros and cons. Personally, the most significant challenge for me has been adapting to the new perspective and significant changes. This experience has truly tested and improved my adaptability to new situations. Another advantage of the double degree programme is the new possibilities it opens up for further study and career advancement in Germany. However, there are also challenges, such as differences in daily and formal language usage, as well as variations in approaches to subjects, which require me to study harder. Nevertheless, overall, the opportunities provided by this double degree programme are substantial, both for my future prospects here in Germany, in Malaysia, or back home in Indonesia."
