Lucía, you studied the Master Bioeconomy at TUMCS from October 2020 to November 2022. How does it feel to be the first graduate in this degree program?
I am grateful for the opportunity to be the first graduate of this program, among many other future sustainability professionals whose work will have a positive impact on our future.
What are your plans now that you have graduated?
I recently started as the Program Manager for the TUM Venture Lab for Sustainability & Circular Economy.
How did you like the degree program, how does it benefit you for your career future?
I liked how we learned about various topics that are important for understanding the complexities of what sustainable development is and how we can contribute to a transition to it. As the need to change business-as-usual practices emerges and becomes more pressing, I have the tools to help, and develop my career in this field.
How will you remember the TUM Campus Straubing?
As a place where I got to know incredible people!
Thank you for this interview and all the best!
