  Wanting to gain experience abroad, I lived in the United Kingdom for half a year; working at Austen Knapman within the steel manufacturing industry. This was part of my practical formal education and provided me with the key takeaways of: -Personally initiated and organised this internship abroad, as the first student within my educational institution. -Gained knowledge of production processes e.g. laser cutting and cutting, as well as different material types. -As a separate passion project, the company allowed me to build a beach buggy, gaining knowledge of the car mechanical systems and suspension. For me personally, by doing this internship abroad, I became more independent, culturally diverse and improved my English language skills, as well as became a more adaptive and open minded person. It was a unique and educational experience, that allowed my to express my creativity. Show less
