Ekaterina Zavalina, a fourth year student at the Department of Regional Studies and International Economies of the Faculty of International Relations, is studying at Hong Kong Shue Yan University this semester.
“At first it was hard to get used to the heat and humidity, to living in the dormitory, and to being 10,000 kilometres away from home”, said the student.
She’s now been studying in Hong Kong for a week and is looking forward to gaining new experience.
“I chose courses in management, law, culture, marketing, and English. I really like it that all the teachers are very fluent in English and have a good pronunciation. They also have enormous experience in teaching internationally. In addition, the law and marketing teachers are also practising experts. I enjoy their classes a lot!”
Ekaterina says that all the lectures at the university are organised in the form of discussions. Group projects are also obligatory in most classes.
“To study abroad is a great opportunity to learn more about a different culture, to see other teaching methods, and to gain valuable knowledge. I’m glad I can experience it myself”, said Ekaterina Zavalina.
