Cardinal Stefan Wyzsynski University in Warsaw
Magda Matitaishvili, Sabauni student of BA program of theology, spent Fall semester of 2019-2020 at Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski University in Warsaw within FUCE scholarship program. She speaks about her experience.
- Magda, how your expectations for this program came true?
Exchange program that I experienced due to FUCE scholarship, was the possibility to realize all my knowledge, I have gained at Sabauni and once again I was convinced, that Sabauni is really the university with European standards. My expectations came true, that the quality of the knowledge, gained at Sabauni, is equally to European education.
- What was the main benefit from this program for you?
The important thing, that I got from this program was the possibility to see my profession /field of study from the other alternative. I had more opportunity to share international experience and made self-realization.
- Which personal skills did you improve thanks to this program?
Communication in foreign language systematically helped me to improve my English language capacities. Also, presentation of own identity in a multicultural environment.
- Which professional skills did you improve thanks to this mobility program?
I improved my skills on working in foreign sources.
- Which courses did you like mostly? Why?
I would highlight the theological courses, which were very interesting for me. We were given a lot of materials and recourses by the professors and this made the study process more interesting.
- Now, what will you miss more?
Intercultural environment
- Please, compare student life in Georgia and abroad
I think, the quality of student life is depended on the student himself. I am very active student in Sabauni and I was so at UKSW. But, the foreign students have better economic condition, than Georgians.
- What are the benefits of participating in an exchange program? Why should a student participate in a similar program?
There are several reasons:
- They improve the foreign language skills
- They gain new opportunities
- They will experience of cultural diversity
- They will make self-realization
- Your recommendation / advice to other students, who wants to participate in this program
Never give up, follow your dreams and goals, our University gives you a great chance to accomplish them in the nearest future.
