 “In my job I meet a lot of students who think about going abroad but who are not sure about how and where to start. Some think it’s very complicated and expensive to organize a study period abroad. I won’t deny that it will cost you some time and possibly money, but it will be such a fun and valuable experience! The study abroad advisors at your faculty are ready to guide and help you. There are exchange programs in which you can participate and special scholarships and funds to finance your exchange. There are so many options! So start exploring your possibilities, reading the brochure Studying abroad will be a good start!”
