Taking advantage of the option to study the master\u2019s program part-time, Lars was able to maintain his job while studying at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We sat down with Lars to hear about his experiences in the program and the direction that his career has taken since graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-could-you-tell-us-about-your-professional-background\">Could you tell us about your professional background?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m currently working at Audi for their Global Graduate Program. It\u2019s an 18-month program and what\u2019s nice about it is that when you apply, you know what job you\u2019ll be doing after the program. My target position is in the business development team within the German market. So far, I have worked for the business development team, joined Porsche Digital in Berlin for three months, and gained insights into the Audi CMO office. My next assignment will be in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before that, I worked for five and a half years at Bayer, a pharmaceutical company. I started there in an apprenticeship program. Then, while still working for the company, I did a training program that was the equivalent of a bachelor\u2019s degree. During my time at Bayer, I completed two assignments abroad, one in Helsinki and the other in Prague. I consider ways to work abroad as the dot that will connect everything I\u2019ve done so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-prompted-the-change-from-pharma-to-automotive\">What prompted the change from pharma to automotive?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns left-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"we-re-proud-of-our-dynamic-program-alumni-who-have-landed-roles-that-earn-them-an-average-annual-salary-of-37-209\">My time at IE University was the driving force behind my industry shift.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/accelerating-your-career-with-the-executive-master-in-strategic-marketing-amp-communication-1.jpg\" alt=\"Accelerating your career with the Executive Master in Strategic Marketing &amp; Communication\" class=\"wp-image-32956\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/accelerating-your-career-with-the-executive-master-in-strategic-marketing-amp-communication-1.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/accelerating-your-career-with-the-executive-master-in-strategic-marketing-amp-communication-1-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/accelerating-your-career-with-the-executive-master-in-strategic-marketing-amp-communication-1-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/accelerating-your-career-with-the-executive-master-in-strategic-marketing-amp-communication-1-585x379.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In my cohort, we had people in different roles across various organizations, from NGOs and the government to Amazon and the Real Madrid Football Club. As part of that, quite a few people were working in e-commerce and direct marketing, which I found very interesting. I had been doing mostly corporate communications in my job at the time. As it\u2019s a pharmaceutical company, Bayer is very heavily regulated, so you can\u2019t be as creative. I realized that switching toward marketing and product-oriented communication would be something I&#8217;m interested in. Audi has always been a very interesting brand to me, so when I saw their graduate program, I applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-as-you-were-studying-and-working-at-the-same-time-how-did-you-manage-your-professional-and-academic-responsibilities\">As you were studying and working at the same time, how did you manage your professional and academic responsibilities?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a lot, that\u2019s for sure. But when you apply for the part-time program, you know it\u2019s going to be a lot of work, and you kind of accept it. Also, you know it\u2019s only for a year and a half. In the end, it\u2019s just about being organized. You have to try to figure out early on which courses will require the most effort and when the deadlines are, and then try to squeeze it into your normal calendar. It\u2019s a lot of work, but it\u2019s also a lot of fun, and everyone has the same struggles. Also, in my case, I came to realize that there may be something different that could be even more interesting for my career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-would-you-say-is-your-biggest-takeaway-from-the-program\">What would you say is your biggest takeaway from the program?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Intercultural communication. There were people in the program from different countries and we all worked in unique ways. I came to learn that just because you do something in a certain way doesn&#8217;t mean that everyone else has to work like that. I also came to realize that diversity leads to much better and more creative projects. Learning this has been a huge benefit to me, both at Bayer and now at Audi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-has-the-program-contributed-to-your-professional-development\">How has the program contributed to your professional development?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>My career has advanced since the program. While I was studying, I was given more responsibility at Bayer, and I was able to directly apply what I was learning to my work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns right-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/accelerating-your-career-with-the-executive-master-in-strategic-marketing-amp-communication-2.jpg\" alt=\"Accelerating your career with the Executive Master in Strategic Marketing &amp; Communication\" class=\"wp-image-32957\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/accelerating-your-career-with-the-executive-master-in-strategic-marketing-amp-communication-2.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/accelerating-your-career-with-the-executive-master-in-strategic-marketing-amp-communication-2-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/accelerating-your-career-with-the-executive-master-in-strategic-marketing-amp-communication-2-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/accelerating-your-career-with-the-executive-master-in-strategic-marketing-amp-communication-2-585x379.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"could-the-master-in-management-be-exactly-what-you-re-looking-for-too-let-s-dig-deeper-to-discover-if-this-program-is-right-for-your-career-goals\">After graduating, I was hired into a new role and then made the industry shift.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, I probably wouldn\u2019t have earned a spot in the Audi graduate program without a master\u2019s degree. Also, there\u2019s the benefit of the network and all the people you meet. I think being one of the younger people in the course was beneficial because I learned not only from my professors but also from my peers in terms of industry insights and help with figuring out where I wanted to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, I often meet people who know about IE University, and that can create a connection and open doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-advice-would-you-give-to-anyone-considering-your-program\"><strong>What advice would you give to <\/strong>anyone<strong> considering your program?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Make use of all the different options that you have at IE University because there are so many additional things to do apart from studying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns left-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"we-re-proud-of-our-dynamic-program-alumni-who-have-landed-roles-that-earn-them-an-average-annual-salary-of-37-209\">Make the most of the connections you have, especially the professors, as they are active in their industries outside of the classroom.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/accelerating-your-career-with-the-executive-master-in-strategic-marketing-amp-communication-3.jpg\" alt=\"Accelerating your career with the Executive Master in Strategic Marketing &amp; Communication\" class=\"wp-image-32958\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/accelerating-your-career-with-the-executive-master-in-strategic-marketing-amp-communication-3.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/accelerating-your-career-with-the-executive-master-in-strategic-marketing-amp-communication-3-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/accelerating-your-career-with-the-executive-master-in-strategic-marketing-amp-communication-3-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/accelerating-your-career-with-the-executive-master-in-strategic-marketing-amp-communication-3-585x379.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Above all, take advantage of every opportunity.
