Academically profound university.
Tips: I would say focus on studies every day for around 4 hours, practice as much as you can. Learn German when you have time but before that I will suggest getting students jobs or internships in their relevant fields and preparing for them as early as possible. Make as many professional and friendly networks as you can, they are going to help a lot in getting a job or for any advice.
