Study Abroad

Studying at the University of Iceland as an exchange student has been one of the most rewarding and eye-opening experiences of my life. Enjoying the peaceful and breathtaking nature of Iceland, meeting inspiring young people with various backgrounds, and learning from renowned scholars motivated me to strive for excellence in everything I do. Studying abroad helped me gain profound knowledge and expand my outlook, become more open-minded, and experience the uniqueness of other cultures. This life-changing semester in Iceland has indeed strengthened my confidence both personally and professionally. I am confident that the knowledge, social network, and memories of my Icelandic experience will guide me in all my future endeavors.

I obtained a number of useful skills, such as planning, organizational, and time management skills. I also improved my communication skills, self-confidence, and most importantly, my proficiency in English leveled up. These mobility programs are important, as you go out of your comfort zone and become a more confident individual, who comes back being more certain of what he or she wants and ready to accept different challenges.

Studying as an exchange student in Paris Lodron University of Salzburg was one of the best experiences I have ever had. Within the framework of the Erasmus+ Mobility Program, I had a chance to study for one semester in one of the most beautiful cities in Europe with a rich cultural heritage. Studying in an intellectually stimulating and inspiring environment, I enriched my academic knowledge under the guidance of international scholars as well as built a strong social network with students from all over the world. Studying abroad also took me out of my comfort zone, broadened my horizons, and made me more open-minded, more independent and a confident person. The skills and knowledge that I gained during the exchange program brought me one step closer to my goals.

“Studying as an exchange student within the framework of Erasmus+ Program in this magical, musical and hospitable city, in Salzburg where Mozart was born and which is considered UNESCO World heritage is a fulfillment of my long-term goal.

The experience of studying in Austria reworded me both professionally and personally. Firstly, I studied and worked with renowned professors in their fields of study which made me a better specialist. We may even call it a valuable milestone in my academic path. Moreover, this opportunity expanded my professional network internationally. I came to meet many scholars during scientific conferences, seminars, and my classes. Secondly, living and studying abroad enabled me to appreciate the diversity of cultures once again. You can meet different people from the whole world in this vibrant little city of Salzburg. The other great thing about Salzburg is that it allows you to travel to many destinations in Europe due to its central location.
