My father has a good friend who travels a lot all over Europe. When it was time for me to begin my studies, he recommended Denmark. He told us it was a beautiful, peaceful country where people are helpful. I already knew of Danish design so I decided to go there to study.
I lived and studied in Horsens for 3½ years. At first, I stayed in a dormitory with other international, but after a while I decided to move out. I got a room in the flat of a very nice woman and liked it a lot there. I agree with my father’s friend: Denmark is a nice, peaceful place and Horsens is like a second home town to me.
After finishing my course at Constructing Architect, I moved back to China I’m working for NNEPharmaplan which is a merged Danish/German company. We work as contractors for other companies wanting to produce and build in China. We have many customers and I work for one of them, namely Vestas, the largest windmill factory in the world. I’m primarily working with project management and cooperate closely with our clients. Since we are very busy, we often delegate the details of the design to local-based companies, leaving us with the over management of the project and the contact with our sub-contractors.
Independent work & sharing of knowledge
The qualifications to perform this job I got from my studies as Constructing Architect at VIA University College. Here I not only got the factual knowledge needed to work as constructing architect, but more important also learned how to gain more knowledge. I learned how to study independently and learn new skills and how to solve problems. Vital to this is my ability to work in a team, where you cooperate with other and benefit from their knowledge. This is really important for me, when facing new problems and challenges in my job both at present and in the future.
Since I studied in Denmark, where there are high requirements for standards and circulars in the building process, I got a lot of new knowledge I can bring into China and thereby I can contribute to an improvement of building practices.
Eventually I might decide to study a master programme in Business Management, but at the moment I enjoy my work very much and I’m gaining a lot of indispensable experience here, so I’m not going anywhere the first couple of years.
