Because I'm curious about the food industry and would love to pursue something in marketing/sales. What I enjoy most about studying at HAS is the people and the personal, friendly atmosphere.

I really enjoyed the excursion week in the first year. Every day, we could visit several companies and observe production processes up close.
Another proud moment for me was when I realised the direction I truly want to pursue, the sector that most attracts me, and I truly saw my plans for the future come to life.
What have you genuinely learned during your studies?
