This year Cardiff students has to opportunity to attended the in-person segment in Bremen, North Germany, but this alternates annually and will be hosted in Cardiff in 2026. We visited beautiful sites in Bremen Universities campus and were offered plenty of walking tours to settle in. We worked in teams to create a sustainable product and then had the pleasure of presenting and answering a Q&amp;A to an enthusiastic team Bremen lectures and specialists.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What surprised you the most about your host country\/programme\/time abroad?<br \/>\n<\/strong>The most surprising aspect of this experience was the supportive and enthusiasm I witnessed from my peers. All teams were incredibly excited by one another&#8217;s ideas and bounced off each other offering advice to other teams following team building exercises. This made settling in to a foreign country with a slightly different culture to England a lot more relaxing, whilst giving you the benefits of being out of your comfort zone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the one thing you miss about your time abroad?<\/strong><br \/>\nI will miss the beautiful scenery of Bremen and the adventure of exploring a new city, one of which I would not of visited otherwise,<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s something you\u2019re passionate about outside of your studies?<br \/>\n<\/strong>Outside of my studies I am very passionate about sustainability and find the uni offer a lot of opportunities regardless of a students experience.
