“My international foundation year, and the flexibility of the University of ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳' study options, allowed me to take part in different modules and find which subjects aligned with my interests. I had the opportunity to become a student ambassador and to attend academic forums. As a result of my foundation year, when I entered the first year of university, I was fully prepared, unafraid of challenges and created strong academic bonds with other students, professors, and mentors.”
