Our Story
HICT was born from my own journey.
A few years ago, after graduating with my bachelor’s degree, moving to Germany for further studies felt almost impossible. I lacked money, time, and guidance. But with strong qualifications, determination, and a leap of faith, I earned a full DAAD scholarship and began my studies in Germany.
I navigated everything — from visa paperwork and cultural adaptation to excelling in my academic and professional life. The challenges I faced and the successes I celebrated inspired me to create HICT, so others can achieve their Germany dream without feeling lost or alone.
About Me — Hasan Idrees
My path in Germany has been one of growth, learning, and achievement. I am:
- Engineer & PhD Candidate in Water Engineering at the University of Duisburg-Essen
- Former Lecturer for bachelor’s and master’s engineering courses
- Project Coordinator for four international research projects
- COO of DastN GmbH, responsible for IT consulting
- Supervisor of several master’s theses
- Mentor to students before, during, and after their studies
Over the last decade, I have developed expertise in:
- Water Engineering (management, treatment, supply)
- IT & Web Development
- Problem Solving & Leadership
- Motivational Storytelling
Thanks to hard work and persistence, I’ve been honored with two prestigious awards recognizing my academic excellence and social commitment.
What Makes HICT Different
Unlike traditional agencies, HICT offers peer-to-peer guidance — advice from someone who has personally faced and overcome the challenges of moving to Germany. I understand the emotional, cultural, and bureaucratic hurdles because I’ve lived them, and I know how to navigate them successfully.
