We are beginning with Dylan Theis,\u00a0Prix Luis y Antonio Portabella Excellence Acad\u00e9mique Laureate who completed a\u00a0Bachelor in Economics and Management at the FDEF.\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Q: Can you tell us a little more about yourself?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p>A: My name is Dylan Theis, I am 23 years old and have Luxembourgish citizenship. I live in Luxembourg and graduated from the Bachelor in Economics and Management here at the University of Luxembourg.<\/p><p><strong>Q: Besides this award, what was your greatest achievement as a student?<\/strong><\/p><p>A: Besides the Portabella prize, my greatest achievement as a student was the\u00a0excellent grades I got in high school.<\/p><p><strong>Q: What is the most significant thing you have learned as a Bachelor in Economics and Management student?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p>A: Over the past years I have learned to use empirical\u00a0data and observations to underline my arguments.<\/p><p><strong>Q: Tell us about a teacher \/ mentor who made an impact on you or set you on your present path.<\/strong><\/p><p>A: Pointing out one particular professor is hard since every single teacher had their impact on different learning fields. Nevertheless, I think that Professor Tatsiramos had a learning\u00a0format which I particularly appreciated.<\/p><p><strong>Q: Are you still studying at uni.lu? What are you doing now?<\/strong><\/p><p>A: Yes, I am currently pursuing a master\u2019s degree in Finance and Economics. I am very much looking forward to specialising in the field of Financial Economics starting in September.<\/p><p><strong>Q: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?<\/strong><\/p><p>A: 5 years from now I will most probably have had my first experiences in the labour market, and I will hopefully work in a good working atmosphere.<\/p><p><strong>Q: What is your ultimate career goal as you see it today?<\/strong><\/p><p>A: Setting an ultimate career goal with the age of 23 is hard, yet I would be glad if at one point I could get the responsibility and the opportunity of leading a department of an administration or a company.<\/p><p><strong>Q: Do you have any advice for future students?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><p>A: While every student has their own way of thinking and studying, in my opinion being interested in what one studies is a core element to becoming academically fulfilled. Furthermore, cultivating friendships and helping each other makes studying easier and more fun.<\/p><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every two weeks during the summer season, we will be having a chat with some of the Student Award winners from the graduating class of 2020.
