Employer

Employer

Ostschweizer Fachhochschule the Institute of Photonics and Microtechnology was a very nice workplace. They provide a lot of learning opportunities and a good environment.

Work description

The project was focused on developing different types of sensors. So I first started with literature research, then started designing. I also got to see how they are fabricated in the clean rooms. And also did some testing of their features as well as automated measurements.

Salary (sufficient for local conditions?)

I got 2300 before deductions, and 2080 after. I think it was sufficient.

Language requirements

English was enough. I knew a bit of German, which was enough to navigate life outside work.

Accommodation (price, who provided it)

500 CHF for a whole basement apartment from a lovely couple who were friends of an IAESTE employee in Switzerland.

IAESTE members were very nice and friendly, helpful and organized very fun events

Meeting other foreign students

I met other foreign students via IAESTE events
