My year in the ISI program was one of the richest experiences in my life. I had my pick from the variety of top-level courses offered at the JKU and the Software Park in Hagenberg, by professors who are widely known and respected. The program provides excellent mentorship and a great balance between structure and flexibility. I never felt alone or overwhelmed. And most of all, I learned a lot from Bruno Buchberger himself.

The Masters program provided by ISI Hagenberg was a perfect opportunity for me to further deepen my academic knowledge after having just finished my bachelor studies in Egypt, and also provided me with a unique opportunity to practically apply my knowledge in the industrial area. During my Master studies, I worked with one of the biggest firms world wide to help them solve a computationally hard problem. My supervisor in the MSc program tailored the course work to fit the needs required by the practical project. After finishing, I found multiple opportunities in the EU and the USA to further advance my career, whether that was academically or industrially.
