EHU gave me a ticket to a better life: profession, knowledge, friends.

“EHU gave me a ticket to a better life: profession, knowledge, friends. EHU is about opportunities. If there is a will there's a way. If there will be actions – the results will appear as well. I have already started to build my career as a junior lawyer in the international consulting company RoyaltyRange Europe”.

Bareika Katsiaryna, Master‘s program "International Law and EU Law" alumna (Class 2020)

EHU is a project of particular importance for guys like me, raised in post-Soviet countries.

“During four years of study at EHU, I got an idea not only about the educational environment of the EU, but also of the United States. Taking advantage of the academic exchange opportunity, I was able to study in a total of four countries, including Lithuania, Spain, USA and Italy. In the process of studying, I had an important opportunity to learn foreign languages. I continued to study English and started to get acquainted with three new languages: German, Lithuanian and Spanish. EHU helped me to adapt to the new educational environment, to the European world, by offering a familiar Russian-speaking community of my fellow students and teachers. EHU is a project of particular importance for guys like me, raised in post-Soviet countries, as it helps us to become a full-fledged part of the international academic community and the English-speaking professional world in just four years".

Anastasiya Halaburda, Bachelor’s program “European Heritage” alumna (Class 2021).

EHU taught me to learn, to think globally and not to be afraid to ask questions.

“EHU taught me to learn, to think globally and not to be afraid to ask questions. After EHU, I've received a Master’s degree at the Goldsmiths, University of London. I have a professional background in the top-management selection for the largest companies around the world”.

Andrei Mayeuski, Bachelor program "Political Science and European Studies" alumnus (2012)

I am grateful to my teachers for supporting my decision.

"At EHU I decided to write a bachelor thesis on space law.I am grateful to EHU faculty members, who supported my decision and gave me the opportunity to caary out a more profound research in this area. In Belarus, I would not have such an opportunity. After EHU I was enrolled into the University of Nebraska program "Space, Cyber and Telecommunications Law". I was the only non-American student and, as far as I know, the only graduate from the post-Soviet countries".

Artsiom Anisimau BA program"International Law" (Class 2009)

At EHU I got a very good education in design

"We studies a lot of theory at EHU. When I started working, I understood that this theory was crucial. You can always learn how to do; moreover, technologies are constantly changing, so you can’t learn how to do something once and forever. However, a good knowledge base and understanding of your industry, occupation, and mission are very important. Today I live in Amsterdam and work for «Van Eck ontwerpers".

Olga Mishyna BA program "Visual design and media" (Class 2009)

I received excellent education in humanities and a solid foundation for working in advertising and PR.

"I was lucky enough to attend BBC courses for journalists, have practice at the Delfi news agency, network with Belarusian journalists, and collect a portfolio to find the first job. After EHU, I worked with many big brands, and now I work for one of the largest media concerns of Europe - Schibsted Media Group. In Belarus, our company is known for the Kufar advertisement platform, which is in the TOP-3 of most popular Belarusian sites".
