Tourism and Recreation, Master Degree

When I arrived to Poland, I started looking for a university where I would like to study.  I graduated from medical institute, so I wanted to connect my further education with medicine.

At first, when I heard cosmetology at AWF, it was very strange for me, because it is more sports university, but when I arrived and saw the campus, a huge green area, sports stadiums, I realized that this is the place where I can combine my love for medicine and sport.

At first it was hard, because learning in a new language, a new country, new people.

But now the Polish language has become my native language, the subjects are more and more interesting every year.

The students are incredibly close-knit and friendly, we do labs together in class, share grass lunches, and have a great time at student parties.

Studying at AWF Wroclaw was a fantastic experience that I will never forget. I enjoyed learning on a beautiful green campus with extensive, modern facilities and knowledgeable, experienced, dedicated lecturers. Having close, positive, and supportive relationships with friends and professors helped me feel like a part of the community and attain many achievements during my time here. I love AWF Wroclaw because it gives me the knowledge to pursue my major and develop my leadership and communication skills. Still, it also helps me overcome my language and cultural barriers.

It has been almost 1 year since I started my Erasmus in Wroclaw and the truth is that it has been one of the best experiences of my life. Studying at the AWF University is a great luck, because the people are very nice and from the first day they welcomed me with open arms and helped me with everything that is necessary to live far from home. The classes at this university are very interesting and the professors make them much more fun. Thanks to that I have been able to learn many new and different things. In addition, the AWF campus offers many study opportunities and has all kinds of sports facilities at your fingertips, so you can enjoy studying and practicing any sport.

And of course this Polish city is beautiful and full of young students, which makes it the perfect Erasmus destination.

Also, the food is very good, there are many advantages and discounts for students, a lot of nightlife and of course the best city square in the world, Rynek, which is definitely one of the most beautiful places and I will never forget.

But the best part of this experience has been undoubtedly all my fellow erasmus students, because although each of us came from a different part of the world, we all together have formed a big family and Wroclaw will always be our second home.

Thank you AWF, Wroclaw and Poland for everything!
