Episode 5 - How to find support

Studying abroad is an adventure, and hopefully a great experience. But we all know there will be days when things just feel a bit more challenging than others. Whether it's feeling homesick, having a bit of a rough time during flu season or just dealing with the workload at the university.

In episode five of "Study in Germany - The Podcast", our host Jana chats with Maysan about how to deal with tough times while studying in Germany. Maysan has been living in Germany for a couple of years now. She is doing her doctorate in Ecotoxicology and Disease Evolutionary Ecology at the Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries. She will be sharing her experience and some advice on how to keep going when you're feeling down.
