The Master's programme in Human Geography "Urban and Regional Research" at the University of Bayreuth has helped me both personally and professionally. An internship during my studies gave me the opportunity to work in city marketing in Bayreuth from October 2019. There, I work together with the city management team on the inner-city development of the city of Bayreuth, with a focus on local retail and the city experience. I can profitably use my professional knowledge from my studies there. With the help of the theoretical principles I have learned, I am able to look at various issues from a spatial science perspective and, for example, play a significant role in shaping the city's image. During my studies, there were also a large number of practice-oriented project seminars and excursions that gave me new insights and experiences in various professional fields and research areas of human geography - which I personally appreciated and benefited from. The university supported me at all times with advice and support, offered me a lot of freedom in terms of determining the focus of my studies and always maintained a very familiar relationship between students and teaching staff. The city of Bayreuth also offers everything a student's heart desires: a wide range of high and subculture, varied leisure activities and many quaint pubs and bars with typical Upper Franconian charm.
