Insights from the team
Hear from our students.
Thanks to the many practical assignments, I have already been able to get to know a number of departments and company divisions. From Project Management for IT applications to the Development of an Android App to Quality Management at BMW M, it has been incredibly exciting
In many areas, you work directly on the vehicle and try out exciting new things – you might not expect that from a job in IT. Cars are becoming more and more digital and connected, so IT specialists like us are needed for the future.
