LL.M. in International Commercial Law

I am writing to share my profound gratitude and reflect on the extraordinary journey I have embarked upon at Pforzheim University. This experience has truly been transformative, equipping me with invaluable knowledge and skills that will undoubtedly shape my professional trajectory.

First and foremost, I would like to express my deepest appreciation to the entire faculty for their unwavering dedication to fostering a dynamic and intellectually stimulating learning environment. Their commitment to excellence has played a pivotal role in molding me into a well-rounded individual.

In particular, I am immensely grateful to Prof. Dr. Steffen Kroschwald, Prof. Dr. Barbara Lorinser and Ms. Valerie Schnabel-Senst for their exceptional support and guidance throughout my time here. Their unwavering commitment to our growth and development has made this exchange program an unforgettable experience for me and my fellow students. It is their passion for teaching and pursuit of excellence that has truly made Pforzheim University a beacon of academic brilliance.

Moreover, my experience at Pforzheim University extended beyond the classroom walls. The opportunity to explore the beautiful cities of Germany, such as Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, Heidelberg, Kehl, and Strasbourg, has added a vibrant dimension to my journey. The captivating tours we embarked upon allowed me to immerse myself in the rich culture and history of these cities.

One particular visit that stands out in my memory is the European Consumer Centre at Kehl. Exploring the intricacies of data privacy policies of various companies, like Porsche during our visit to their headquarters in Stuttgart, has enriched my understanding of this crucial aspect. Additionally, meeting with Ms. Sheila Vásquez, Legal Counsel of Data Protection at Volkswagen, provided me with valuable insights and knowledge.

The memories forged and the knowledge gained during my time at Pforzheim University will forever hold a special place in my heart. I am immensely grateful for the incredible opportunity I have been given, and I am certain that the experiences and lessons learned here will guide me throughout my lifetime.

Once again, I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the faculty, Prof. Dr. Steffen Kroschwald, Ms. Valerie Schnabel-Senst, and everyone who has contributed to making my study placement at Pforzheim University a truly unforgettable experience. Thank you for everything.

LL.M. in International Commercial Law

My experience in Pforzheim University was awesome. I had very good moments in Germany. As a postgraduate student of International Commercial Law, my knowledge was further enriched by lectures in Business Ethics, International Business Law, International Economics, Intellectual Property Law, European and International Law, and Information Security Assurance.

Our visits to the Stuttgart Regional Court; Porsche Legal Department on Data Protection and the Centre for European Consumer Protection, was astounding and informative. I enjoyed lunch with a Judge of Stuttgart Higher Regional Court.

Our group visits to Heidelberg; the first world television tower, Porsche museum, both in Stuttgart; and Strasbourg (France) were all fun.

I thoroughly enjoyed the classes with Prof. Dr. Steffen Kroschwald, Prof. Dr. Lorinser, Prof. Dr. Harriehausen, and Prof. Dr. Willburger. 

Special thanks to Prof. Dr. Steffen Kroschwald, Ms. Valerie Schnabel- Senst, Paul Günther and his girlfriend Charlie for their help and assistance throughout my stay. 

I am happy that I benefited from this partnership between the University of Bradford and Pforzheim University.
