Students experience

 

“Olá! I never wanted to graduate without participating in the Eresmus programme. I decided that taking part in the internship mobility will be the best option, because this year is my last year at the university, and I could move more comfortably abroad withoutr having clesses in the new semester. Right after my graduation, I started researching and writing to companies, thinking that it would be nice to get some experience from Europe. Population, industry, natural beauty made Portugal one of the most desirable countries in Europe for me. At this time, I saw Anicolor, which processes aluminium and is one of the leading companies in this field in Portugal. In my application, I was informed that they had set up a new production line and that I could work here and learn a lot more about this sector. After receiving the acceptance letter, I came to Aveiro, Portugal with great excitement and my adventure started. In two months, I have aperienced many things in the factory, I have leamed important things such as installing new machines, adjusting, errors that may occur, making important calculations in derawing programs. It was very enjoyable and important for me to be with people who speak different languages in e very far place from the country where I live, both in business and in sacial life, and to have such a great experience. I established contacts from different countries and expanded my social circle. I would like to thank the Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University International Relations office and the European Education and Culture Executive Agency for providing me with this opportunity to learn many things.”

 

“Erasmus is a wonderful experience that everyone should have once in their life. I am very happy that I was able to get this advantage and bring these 5 months experience into my life. It was a huge responsibility for me because I have never lived that far from home. I had to handle everything myself. The first five days of my Erasmus were though because of mandatory quarantine but after that I started to meet new people from other countries and every day started to get better. Mutual lessons were also good opportunity to meet people and help each other. We were talking about our cultural differences and similarities. Talking with someone who has different culture certainly added new perspectives to me. We had enough time to share our cultures to each other because of Covid-19 measures. We were in a dorm for almost two months where mostly Erasmus students live. After two months of the beginning of my Erasmus, we started to discover Czech culture and Brno, to meet Czech people. Brno is a small and cozy town. Most of the population of Brno is students. That is why we were going to other universities together to join parties and meet new Erasmus students. While we were introducing our culture in the best possible ways, we were learning a lot of new things from foreign students. After the final exams, we started to go to other countries to see more different places and cultures. In short, it was an experience which I did not want ever to end”
