Student Spotlight: Julian Mogk

Julian Mogk, RWTH Aachen University, Germany

“UC Davis is a renowned university especially when it comes to sustainability, which I am interested in. Through the Global Study Program, I am taking upper division engineering classes and learning new things in many different fields of engineering, which broadens my knowledge. Studying abroad is a great opportunity to get to know different fields outside of my engineering studies. Next quarter, I am going to take some economics classes, which will also be helpful for my career options. I am enjoying my time at UC Davis. Most courses are very interesting and well taught. Also, the campus life is very nice—so many people biking around campus is definitely a highlight. When not in class, I have travelled around California and saw San Francisco, Los Angeles, Yosemite National Park and Silicon Valley to see the headquarters of the big tech companies. I also joined the Men's Volleyball Club, and next quarter I want to do research at a UC Davis lab.”

Julian Mogk is getting his master's degree in Mechanical Engineering and is attending UC Davis for two quarters through the Global Study Program.
