“The atmosphere at the university is great and I have really learned a lot from professors and classmates. The infrastructure is great with beautiful buildings, up-to-date equipments and facilities for studies, and computers in the labs have all the software packages we need.”
Why ELTE?
After choosing Hungary as the country for my master studies, I did research about different Hungarian universities and I chose ELTE which is internationally renowned, offering high quality teaching/programs, excellence in research and innovation and having students from across the world. High quality education and an environment which is created when many aspiring talents from around the world gathering at a common place will only take my knowledge level to greater heights. That is why I decided to study my master degree at Eötvös Loránd University. I am highly motivated to take the courses because the curriculum fits my educational objectives perfectly.
What do you like most about being a student at ELTE?
The atmosphere at the university is great and I have really learned a lot from professors and classmates. The infrastructure is great with beautiful buildings, up-to-date equipments and facilities for studies, and computers in the labs have all the software we need. Professors teach us real-world issues, which are more difficult to explain. But we seem to be getting good answers when we ask any questions in an easy way. We have wifi and internet all over campus so this is something very good for us to access them from wherever we are.
What are the challenges in your study program?
Of course, when I arrived here, it was a little bit challenging for me to understand the language accent, culture, food and weather as it is quite different from my country. But now, I am getting familiar with all of these things and people of Hungary. People are here really helpful and I like Hungarian culture.
How do you think your degree will help you in your life and career?
After having more than 6 years of IT MNCs experience I have chosen to study at ELTE because of its curriculum and reputation which will provide me great skills to broaden my horizon further. My future potential employer in the public/private sector such as local universities and research organizations will be a good channel where I can transfer the knowledge which I will gain here in an optimized manner to my country and future generations.
Do you have any advice for future students at ELTE?
Just go ahead and grasp the opportunity to study at a highly renowned national university which will provide a great exposure in your career to grow fast.
