The balance between university and work: My path as a dual student

Finding the right balance between study and work as a dual student is really not easy. Work-life balance is important for everyone, but especially for those of us who have both academic and professional commitments. When I started my dual study program in October 2023, I was full of anticipation and also a little nervous. The first few months were intense, and I had to learn how to best manage my time. Today I would like to tell you how I managed this and how esveo supported me.

The beginning: October 2023

My dual study program started in October 2023—an exciting new chapter in my life. But alongside the excitement, there were also many uncertainties. How would I manage to combine work and study? Would I be able to meet the requirements? These questions were constantly on my mind in the first few weeks. Everything was new and uncertain, and I often wondered how I would manage my time and tasks. The combination of work and study was overwhelming at first. I had to learn to organize myself and find a balance. Fitting into a new working environment and understanding my role wasn't easy either. I was worried about whether I would settle in well.
