Computing Student Spends Year Studying, Working, and Learning in Germany 

For students seeking international experience, studying abroad can offer opportunities that extend well beyond the classroom. Computer Science (CS) Student Nicholas Byrd’s year-long experience in Germany gave him the chance to study CS at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and to intern at TNG Technology Consulting. 

During the 2025–26 academic year, Byrd spent one semester studying at TUM through Georgia Tech’s exchange program and the following months completing a full-time internship. Along the way, he took courses in artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning, worked on large language model (LLM) benchmarking, traveled throughout Europe, and made friends from around the world.
