Gilman-DAAD Spotlight: Benjamin Brobbey

Copyright: I. Weatherall

"Studying abroad in Germany has given me a lot of new options for my future. I am now aware of academic and professional opportunities, such as Master’s and trainee programs, that would greatly improve my employability when I graduate from Drexel, so I am considering coming back to do a Master’s in Germany. In terms of personal development, I believe I have grown to be more solution-oriented, adaptable and flexible."

Last year, Drexel University senior Benjamin Brobbey was one of the first recipients of a DAAD-Gilman Germany Scholarship, which allowed him to complete a year of study and research at the Hamburg University of Applied sciences. You can read the rest of his first-hand account of his experience in Hamburg here!
