Corporate Speed Dating 2023
On 3 May 2023, the departmental student representation 04’s successful “Company Speed Dating” event took place for the sixth time in the foyer of Hochschule München. Throughout the day, students and company representatives were able to network in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.
In light of the consistently positive feedback, the departmental student representation has once again followed a similar approach this year to that which proved successful in previous years.
Students from any department who were interested in finding an internship, a part-time student job, a permanent position or a topic for a bachelor's degree or Master's degree thesis could register individually or in groups via a portal run by the departmental student representation.
In the familiar ‘speed-dating’ style, the students rotated in turns between the stands set up by the participating companies. This year, each ‘date’ lasted 6 minutes and was signalled by a loud gong when it ended. A presenter from departmental student representation 04 guided the proceedings, whilst the departmental student representation ensured that the time limits were adhered to.
After each meeting, interested students could pop their business card into the contact box at the company’s stand, thereby providing a way for the company to get in touch.
This year, the third round took the form of an open fair to which all HM students were invited. This also provided an opportunity to build on the conversations that had taken place during the dating rounds.

Judging by the consistently positive feedback and the general atmosphere, it was clear that everyone involved was delighted to have the opportunity to get to know one another in person. Overall, the corporate speed-dating event proved once again to be a real success for both sides – students and companies alike. As we do every year, we hope that many students and companies will connect in the future.
Special thanks, of course, go to the participating company representatives, but also, naturally, to the hard-working student representatives from Department 04, without whose weeks of dedication this event would not have been possible.
