Feedbacks from students

My study abroad experience was amazing and really helpful. I learned a lot in my classes and getting to know a new culture was exciting. Meeting people from all over the world taught me different ways of thinking and helped me understand new ideas. This experience made me more confident and gave me great memories. It was a fun and important time in my life that I'll always remember. (Audra Andryieuskaya, UNIVERSITY OF ŽILINA, Slovenia).



My internship abroad was great and very useful. I learned new things about my job and how to work with different people. It was really interesting to see how work is done in another country. I made new friends and felt more confident in my skills. This experience was fun and important for my career. (Christian Awonjock, INFOSYS, Denmark)
