Additional Semester Abroad Call for participation in international student mobility program at the Otto Friedrich-University…
Anastasia AllenInternational Student from University College of London, United Kingdom
“The experience of being an international student is always special, but my experience at UCU was just priceless. I’d never come across this kind of warm atmosphere and tight-knit community in a study environment before. Studying at a spiritual university, even if you have no faith, is so fulfilling. It gave me an entirely different perspective on what it means to be a student that I will take back to my home university with pride.”
Christoph MaischErasmus+ Ph.D. student, European University Viadrina in Frankfurt (Oder), Germany.
I was not really familiar with Ukrainian educational system before, just knew that there were several new spots and the UCU is, for example, a new kind of university. In UCU bureaucratic system is very direct and non-complex. If you have a problem, you can solve it directly and without much troubles. Classes are easily accessible, so even if you are not fluent in Ukrainian there are classes in English. You can have a very open minded discussion even with professors and if you do disagree with them you can discuss it. That is definitely a pro argument.
Andrew WestonEnglish language teacher, United Kingdom
“I knew something about UCU’s reputation from my friends in Oxford University Ukrainian Society…I knew that UCU was a private institution and it is trying to do things in a different way and it is trying to almost change Ukrainian universities by example. We have this expression – to lead by example. And I thought that it would be an important thing to come and help with because a lot has been done and it is very positive at UCU and it is still a lot to do though.”
