Hallo everyone, I got accepted to study financial economics (PLEASE if you know someone who did it or is doing it PLEASE TEXT ME) and I'm wondering how social Magdeburg is.

A bit of context: I'm 27 from Italy, I am a very active and extrovert guy, I hike/montaneering (so I'm gonna pick up climbing probably), I love board games but also clubbing from time to time, etc

How easy it is to make new friends in the city? My german is, well, getting better I guess but not good enough for german based friendships

How easy it is to get mini job while speaking english or not very good german?

Internships? I'm talking to my economics people now, how hard it is to get nice interships with the university (or without?) in english?

Hi everyone,

I am planning to apply for a Master’s degree in Germany for the next semester and I really don´t know which type. I recently graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration in Italy, I am not aiming for top-tier targets like Mannheim or Frankfurt, but rather looking for a solid university (the ones that I selected are Leipzig, Köln, Magdeburg, Münster, Nuremberg, Hannover, Kiel, Marburg, Dresden, Berlin) that offers a good balance between student life and mainly a good job when im finished.

Beyond the standard "Economics vs. Finance vs. Business Administration (BWL)" labels, I see many specific master's types. I want to avoid Marketing entirely, but I'm struggling to understand what the German job market actually values right now.
I've noticed Economics can be very theoretical/academic. Does it still hold good weight in the private sector in Germany, or should I stick to Management/Finance tracks if my main goal is finding a job in a company?
but also, is a general master (like standard BWL) safer for finding a job, or do German employers prefer highly specialized degrees ? like quantitative economics for sustainability, europian financial markets, etc

to predict the "just do what you like the most", I dont have a clear preference, maybe business administration or data? Overall, they all speak kinda the same to me, I have many interests and I would like to do many things. I have a A2 in german right know but of course I´m gonna get a C1 for the end of my study period, since my girlfriend is german it wouldnt be too much of a problem I hope.

If someone has good info to share with me about the german market I would be very grateful.
