I will study in Taiwan

On Friday I got a very exciting news. I was accepted by the National Taiwan University for a Master degree program and they published a list of all the 243 successful international applicants. Including me they accepted 9 students from Germany. I decided to study in the Graduate School of Electronics Engineering. It is a mixture of Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics and Engineering. I will go to Taiwan at the beginning of September and plan to stay for two years. I want to say thank you to all the people who make this possible for me.

Before I sent my application to NTU I already spent a lot of time for the application process. Asking my University to sign all my documents and transcripts. Some documents have to be translated into English, with the help of a authorized translator. Visiting several times the Taipei Representative Office in Munich for notarizing some documents, taking photos and participating in a English proficiency test.

Now I have to get everything done until my departure to Taiwan. This includes finishing my Diploma degree and selling or giving away most of my belongings which I can not carry with me to a new location.
