Participants of the mobility programmes say...

Olga Shulima,
the post-graduate student of the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technologies

I had 10-month internship at postgraduate school in Malmö University, Sweden. The government of Sweden and the Swedes themselves are very loyal to foreigners, so I think it affects the organization of educational process at the university.
Before the academic year two-week introductory courses were organized for all international students and post-graduates of Erasmus Mundus programme. One could study the Swedish language, attend lectures about Sweden, its people and the studying process. This helps to overcome the cultural barrier, if there’s one at all. Also, they give tours, familiarizing students with the main attractions.
Erasmus Student Network is actively operating at the university. It arranges many activities and brings together students from all countries. The educational process involves the Swedish and English languages. Moreover, most of the Swedes speak English perfectly and communicate with foreigners without any problems. The teachers are very friendly with students and often organize joint outings to cafes, bowling, etc.
The Sweden University has been closely involved in the Bologna Process, so the university provides a lot of opportunities for self-study, team work is welcomed, so groups of students can gather together feeling quite comfortable.
Also, I would like to add that most Swedes tend to live in harmony with the environment. So they have a green city, it’s clean everywhere, they even buy garbage in neighboring countries, because of their lack of biogas production. I don’t know about Erasmus Mundus in other countries, but it is very nice and easy in Sweden.

Dmytro Ivanenko,
a lecturer of the Department of Theory and History of State and Law

 The scientific research was conducted within the Faculty of Law, University of Cologne, led by Prof. Dr. Jan Kruse, who is a specialist in Civil Law.
A search for specialized literature in the library concerning the topic of the thesis significantly accelerates the pace of the research of comparative nature.
Staying in Germany gives you a perfect opportunity to improve your English and German language skills. It will ensure the future of our faculty cooperation with European countries.
The impressions of foreign internships are extremely positive! I would like to recommend my colleagues and students to give it a try: please, don’t mind the severe selection criteria, a small number of scholarships offered and a significant amount of paperwork. Unique experience, multicultural environment and education system, new professional and personal contacts – those are only a few things waiting for you during your internship abroad.
