Studies finally finished: Diplom-Politologe – Thesis published
Jul 4th, 2009 by bjoern
The last two weeks I had been back to Europe and enjoyed the starting summer and non-humid climate a lot. The reason for my trip were that I had to attend my last two oral exams and hold diverse meetings with the FES headquarter, German partners and ministries to get introduced to my new working sphere. But before I went for the exams to Berlin Hans and me took the car from Munich and went on an Italy-trip, which we enjoyed a lot: Verona, Appenin, Toscany, Siena, Lago di Garda and back to Germany. Coming from Singapore the differences could not been higher. With the amazing cultural heritage from Roman empire and thousand of years of history the artifical world of my home-island Singapore was not really able to compete. And the trip was exiting as well, as I managed to challenge the car in a field. But with the help of Italian farmers you can solve all problems – even at 7 o´clock in the morning.
Afterwards I went back to Berlin and it felt really great meeting so many friends and feeling home again. I hold my oral exams with Prof. Grottian and Dr. Peters and received there also my note for my master-thesis: I was really amazed to get the best note – 1,0 (summa cum laude) from MP Däubler-Gmelin, who is the former federal minister of justice and head of the commitee for human rights and humanitarian aid in the federal parliament. That seriously honoured me – now I proofed myselfes and the world of scientists, that I can also do scientific work! I am now a graduate – Diplom-Politologe and celebrated a lot in Germany. Let´s see what the future brings but I am very happy to finally finish almost ten years of studies! :)
As I published my diploma-thesis also as book, please find here the opportunity to order if you are interested in the topic.
How the hell you manage to drive into the field on a strait track?
