Study abroad - why not?
Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences was one of the first Polish Universities to join the Erasmus Program in 1998. Last year over eighty students studied or interned abroad in the program.
On March 15th a meeting took place at the Teaching and Research Center where students were informed on the conditions to apply to study or receive an internship in the Erasmus program. Tomasz Haglauer from the Office of International Programs was there to explain the details about the application, which now can be submitted online. The meeting was also attended by deans and vice-deans of all five departments, as well as prof. Piotr Nowakowski - coordinator of the ECTS credit system. Students also watched presentations given by two students who participated in last year's international exchange: Daria Pieczka, a student of Landscape Architecture, spoke about her studies at the University of Copenhagen, while Piotr Kądziela shared his experiences about his time at the Brno University of Technology.
Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences was one of the first Polish Universities to join the Erasmus Program in 1998. Last year over eighty students studied or interned abroad in the program. The most popular countries among students are Spain and Portugal. Also, a large group of students who choose to intern abroad are from the Veterinary Medicine who attend various world-famous veterinary clinics.
Among the seventy-three students who came to Poland this academic year via Erasmus, the largest groups were from Mediterranean countries such as Spain, Greece and Turkey. Pablo from Salamanca, came to the Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences to study geodesy and cartography. He said it’s been a great experience studying in Wroclaw.
– “I'm very happy about my stay in Wroclaw, though it could be a bit warmer. The food is different from Spanish food, but I like it and it's not too expensive. On the weekends I go for trips around the region. I've already seen Karkonosze. I highly recommend the Erasmus program in Wroclaw.”
During the first days of stay, Pablo and other foreigners can rely on assistance from students in the Erasmus Student Network club. The club is currently chaired by Joanna Koperwas a third year student in Landscape Architecture. The members of the club pick up foreign students from the airport, help arrange accommodation and together with the Office of International Programs organize the introductory days.
