A bit envious of all the things happening at Lüneburg University in the area of sustainability, and at the same time curious and excited about what ideas I could take back with me to the mdw: this is how my trip to Lüneburg – naturally with the German Federal Railways to save CO₂ – began. […]

After my twelve-year stay in Vienna and long years of study at the mdw, I decided to move to Taiwan, my husband’s native country. And last year in Taipei, the Taiwanese capital, I had the opportunity to study for a year at the Taipei National University of the Arts (TNUA) as an exchange student. I

I always knew that I would take advantage of the opportunity to spend a year or semester abroad during my studies. Because South America had interested me even as a child, and because Europe was too close, it wasn’t difficult to chooses a continent. My fascination with Brazil became lodged in my brain.

From 12 November to 3 December 2017, we participated in the “Musethica” in the Spanish city of Zaragoza (Saragossa) and in Vienna. Musethica was founded in 2012 in Saragossa by the violinist Avri Levitan. The project enables musicians to play many concerts that are held not on official stages but rather in the middle of

In a purely geographical sense, the Russian capital, with its 12.4 million inhabitants, lies in the European part of the

It is 7:11 a.m. when my good friend and fellow Film Academy student Michael Podogil wakes me up with his phone call. Half asleep, I have no idea why he is calling so early. “Today is the greatest day of my life, Lukas!”, he says, and then it dawns on me: we have been nominated

Whenever I remember my Erasmus year in Lyon, I get a big smile on my face… It was a very interesting year of mine! I had so many things to get to know, to learn, to experience. In Lyon studies normally start in September but since I had an important concert in Vienna I was

Magical Mexico, say the people of this country often with a grin. This slogan, which was actually invented by the tourism industry, is used here sarcastically. For this country offers visitors not only wonderful experiences but also very bizarre ones. It is difficult for me to summarise my stay in simple words. When I think
