“The BIP program has successfully granted me access to business life. At BASF the BIP program has a good reputation. From a great variety of offers, alumni can chose the one job offer they feel most comfortable with. In my department global marketing, my colleagues come from all around the world. The international scope of the BIP program has done a great deal in helping me succeed in daily business.”
Timm Dunemann, BASF, BIP 02

“Truth be told, while studying now and again I asked myself, if the decision I made with participating in the BIP program was really the right one. Would I have been better off at a state or private university? It truly proves difficult a task to evaluate other study paths without participating. But since I have started working I am truly convinced to have made the right decision. Now that I can compare myself to my colleagues and other young professionals, I am convinced that the BIP program provides its students with an outstanding basis for a successful entrance to business life and sound management knowledge.”

“The winning combination of study- and working life makes the students life more interesting and shows that business studies is not just theoretical and boring, but that it is really fun. Working experience in companies does not only provide its students with knowledge, experience and a certain form of maturity, it also helps to create individual social networks, that may prove to be of great importance later on.”
Oliver Gernsheimer, BASF, BIP 03

“The BIP program provides its students with capability to compete on the job market more successfully. Since students are already working on the job while studying they are rapidly used to daily working routine. Of course, the main focus lies on building up a highly branched social network in the company you work and study in. In this way the company as well as the students can mutually derive benefit from one another.”

“BIP students almost take for granted that they have the fantastic opportunity to run through a great variety of departments, get to know different fields of activity and international sites. It surely advances the students and helps them to understand what they want- and what they do NOT want. Six years have passed since I graduated. In the meantime I have stopped working for my instructing company and founded my own business. Not that I did not like it in my old company, I just figured out that I prefer working in my own start- up. I still am in contact with my fellow BIP alumni, who have stayed in their companies. Many of them have made their way, work in interesting positions and enjoy their fields of activity, projects and stays abroad.”
