We continue to publish personal impressions of USTU students - participants of the Erasmus+ Program. Endzela Amaglobeli (1st year master’s student in Management): “In winter 2019, I began my studies at Nord University in Bodo under the Erasmus+ Program. The university provides a wide range of courses and the freedom to choose a field of activity. For me personally, the most important subjects were those that could complement and expand my education in Russia."

Danil Matveev (the 2nd year student of the specialty “Technological Machines and Equipment”): “I was lucky to become a member of the Barents Plus Program and studied one spring semester in the Norwegian city of Tromso. I am very grateful to our university for that opportunity. At the beginning, I could not believe that the international academic exchange was real. Firstly, everything seemed unaccustomed in Tromso — different weather, surroundings, people.
