| Name: Hendrik Gabert |
| Course: Placement |
| Interesting Fact: I support the German
football club Schalke 04 |
I am a placement student from Germany and I am doing my A -
levels at Kuniberg Berufskolleg
in
Recklinghausen.
As part of my A - levels, every student on my course has to work
in a foreign country, which is why i have chosen Doncaster instead
of Barcelona, Krakow and Dublin.
I came to England three years ago as part of a tour with a
school Big Band which is called "EKS
Big Band" which works with the Doncaster Jazz Centre. I got to know people
who work at Doncaster College and that's how I was able to get
a placement.
It's amazing to see how it has changed, the whole place
seems so vibrant and exciting. Over the three weeks I
have worked in various departments, for example Social Science, the International office and the Marketing department. This placement has
given me great experience of different types of work and I was
able to improve my English skills.
The people in Doncaster are very friendly and they seem to love
their Rock music! Also I have never seen so many pubs in
one town, my favourites were Baileys and the Tut'n'Shive. The
students were very welcoming especially the IB and Dance
students who took me around town into several types of pubs and
interesting places, and we had a really exciting time.
Also the tutor who I got to know invited me to join in their
lessons which was really interesting.
All in all I enjoyed my time in Doncaster and I look forward to
coming back to Doncaster next year.
