Corporate Speed Dating 2017
On 10 May 2017, the departmental student representation 04’s corporate speed-dating event took place in the foyer, where, from 10 am, students and company representatives were able to network in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.
In advance, interested students from any department looking for an internship, a part-time student job or a topic for a bachelor's degree or Master's degree thesis were able to register via the departmental student representation portal and were thus allocated to small groups across the three matching cycles.
In the familiar ‘speed-dating’ style, the students then rotated in turn between the tables set up by the various companies. Each ‘date’ lasted 5 minutes and was signalled to an end by a clearly audible gong. A presenter from departmental student representation 04 guided the proceedings and ensured that the time limits were adhered to.
After each meeting, interested students could pop their business card into the contact box, thereby giving the company a way to get in touch with them.
During the two longer breaks at the end of each round of speed dating, participants were able to continue and expand on conversations they had already started with company representatives.

Judging by the feedback and the general atmosphere, the event was a real success for both sides – students and companies alike.
Special thanks, of course, go to the company representatives who took part, but also, naturally, to the hard-working student representatives from Department 04, without whose weeks of dedication this event would not have been possible.
