At the very beginning, Sadok Fennira wanted to go to Hamburg. However, he was three points short of the requirement to study there. He needed 67 points on the German Language Test for University Admission (DSH). Giving up was out of the question for the Tunisian native. With the goal of studying in Germany, he came across the website of the University of Applied Sciences Zittau/Görlitz online. He liked what he saw, and so, shortly thereafter, he began a Mechanical Engineeringprogram at HSZG. It’s a decision he has never regretted.
The final degree profile in the three-part video series “hier_angekommen” shows that his fighting spirit not only inspired him in choosing where to study but also drives this passionate athlete in his daily training . In the segment titled “A Tunisian Between Mechanical Engineering and Competitive Sports,” Sadok explains how he balances his passion for sports with his keen interest in technical subjects.

On behalf of the Public Relations Office, Christiane Matthieu was responsible for camera work and editing, and we would like to extend our sincere thanks to her once again.
The three-part video series “hier_angekommen” from the Public Relations Office features students who have made Upper Lusatia their home after leaving their home countries to pursue their studies. Ecology and Environmental Protectionstudent Nino Gehler from Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania kicked off the series in November 2017 and was followed by Johanna Schubert from Franconia. She is Mechanical Engineering at the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences, first in the KIA Diplom degree course and then completing her master’s degree. The videos tell the stories of three different young people who have one thing in common: by choosing to study at the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences, they have found a new home in the border triangle.
Here you can find the film about Nino Gehler: “hier_angekommen: A Northerner Between a Garden Shovel and a Bunsen Burner” and about Johanna Schubert : “hier_angekommen: A Woman from Franconia Between Plastics, Children, and Structures.”
