As high school student, all people have a doubt about where to apply and what profession to choose. After 12 year study in one of high qualified CIS schools in Kazakhstan – Nazarbayev International School (NIS), I have applied for several universities around Europe and Asia. Technical university of Kocaeli in Turkey and Suleyman Demirep University in Kazakhstan have offered full tuition fee for studies, however I was purely motivated to receive European diploma.
Before the Covid-19, I had a big lost in my life, our main family member- my father. However the time came to apply for university and was no chance to show weakness. Consequently, I had to bring all of my power onto the pitch. I started to look for a university with high ranking in Chemical Engineering field of study. After completing all steps, finally I received an acceptance letter with fee waiver for study. Thus, my journey at KTU started with cozy city and qualified professors.
Why KTU?
When you are truly motivated student who wants to achieve future plans, the main thing for you is – the surrounding, who values you. KTU appreciates and keeps student to stay hydrated by having lots of programme within the university. TALENT Scholarship, GIFTed and SKILLed Academy are all communities who are offering professional development and scholarships to KTU students. Being a member of GIFTed student I was gaining experience from the beginning of study year and participated in Hackhaton games.
Moreover, when you arrive to KTU, Lithuania, the International department and dormitory group put the student on priority to receive a spot to live in dorm. KTU recently finished construction of new dormitory for double as well as for single room prefers. Solo rooms are also available for students and I felt safe when I understood that i have a place to live when I arrive to a new country.
Balance in student life is really important. In couple minutes by walk from dormitory there is a free gym for students with all necessary tools.
University give you chance to gain an experience abroad, so you can apply for Erasmus and Exchange programmes. Based on the interest of study, training or internship, students have a chance to live for short or long term period in another country and get paid for it.
“You will never be at age 20-22, who is dancing in another country with unknown foreigners to the song of your lovely artist” – thus, if you wanna suddenly travel to another country, the location of Lithuania is quite good to have a fun on weekends.
