about university | organisation
What made your university special? What were the facilities where you studied and the university equipment like?
It is a wonderful institution, with a lot of history and very close to the city centre! It is well-known for its excellence!
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think about your "adoptive" university? What made it special? What were the premises where you studied and the university facilities like?
I would recommend this faculty to other interns, as my supervisors provided great support and included me in activities since day one.
What is student life like at university?
Did you study in English or in the language of the host country? What language requirements does the university have?
I only communicated in English both in the faculty and on a daily basis!
about the city
What was your impression of the city? How would you describe it? What is interesting to see here?
Leipzig is a vibrant student city! It has many good transportation options for daily use, and it is also a very walkable city. Full of really nice parks to hang out and do exercise. Also, the city is known for its music and cultural heritage.
about finances
In your experience, how far does the scholarship go? What percentage of your expenses did it cover? What is your opinion on prices in the country in general?
The scholarship was able to cover my basic expenses. The accommodation and restaurant prices are higher than in Czechia.
Please advise your classmates on how to save money—Where to shop? What services can be used to save money?
about accommodation
What type of accommodation did you choose? Would you recommend it to others? If not, what type of accommodation do you think is best based on your experience (dormitory, private apartment, private dormitory, shared room, etc.)?
Because I was a PhD student here, I could not apply to the university dormitory. So I opted for a private accommodation.
about experiences
Did you use your stay to travel around the country/Europe? What are your best travel experiences? What would you not recommend?
I explored the city of Leipzig, but also Berlin, Dresden, Naumburg and Braunschweig. The transport is convenient and affordable when you have the Deutschland ticket (it is included in the tuition fee), which gives you 6 months of free regional transport on a daily basis and allows you to explore the whole of Germany.
Language and culture: what cultural differences did you notice? How did you cope with the national language? Was it also the language of your studies? Do you feel that your language skills improved during your stay?
I only communicated in English both in the faculty and on a daily basis! German language may be an advantage if you intend to feel integrated faster.
about experiences
Did you use Erasmus stay to travel around your country/Europe? What are your best travel experiences? What would you not recommend?
Because I am an international student already in Czechia, I didn't feel that much of a shock and was able to adapt easily. My advice remains that if you know the German language, it can be an advantage to establish friendships easily and feel included in group conversations.

final rating
Why here? What makes this location special? Why would you send your friends to your country/city?
Leipzig University will offer you a fantastic experience! Both the university and the city will be ready to welcome you! Explore the green spaces and the museums that the city has to offer.

When I think of the Sofia Security Forum, the first thing that comes to mind is its dynamic, policy-oriented research environment combined with a strong focus on regional geopolitical issues. What made this organization truly unique was its deep expertise in Black Sea security, the Balkans, and foreign policy strategies of small states, offering a practical, real-world perspective on international relations.
The workspace was professional and collaborative, equipped with all the necessary tools for policy research, monitoring regional security developments, and preparing analytical briefs. Working directly within an active security policy network provided a seamless bridge between academic theory and high-level diplomatic and strategic analysis.

Když se řekne Humbold Uni, jako první se mi vybaví její skvělá atmosféra a lokace v samotném srdci Berlína. Právnická fakulta sídlí v historické budově přímo na hlavní třídě Unter den Linden, takže studium tady má svůj genius loci. Prostory fakulty kombinují klasickou architekturu s moderně vybavenými přednáškovými sály i menšími seminárními místnostmi, takže vajbem je to dost podobné naší právnické fakultě v Praze:)
Jednoznačně největší přednost z hlediska zázemí je nedaleké Jacob-und-Wilhelm-Grimm-Zentrum. Tahle centrální univerzitní knihovna má nejen rozsáhlý fond německé i mezinárodní právní literatury, ale především poskytuje klidný prostor na učení a psaní prací. Celkově je univerzita velmi otevřená, kosmopolitní a vstřícná k zahraničním studentům, takže se člověk rychle aklimatizuje, a zároveň si udržuje vysoký akademický standard.

Dublin City University vlastní poměrně rozlehlý kampus, na kterém najdete všechno od obchodu přes knihovnu až po hospodu. Často se zde konají nejrůznější akce, takže je zde živo. Super je systém Pantry, kde si po přihlášení můžete odnést každý týden domů nějaké potraviny zdarma. Dále nabízí členství spolků v podstatě na všechny aktivity co si dokážete představit, ať už jde o volejbal nebo hraní deskovek. Lidé z místního studijního jsou velmi vstřícní a nemusíte se za nimi jít s žádnou "blbostí". Na začátku semestru si jich užijete, protože začátek semestru se nese ve znamení papírování a systém zapisování/měnění předmětů je hodně matoucí. Jinak je občas ve třídách zima, takže doporučuju nosit teplé oblečení.

Na stáži jsem byla pod hlavičkou PUMS - Poznan University of Medical Sciences. Jde o jednu z předních univerzit v Polsku a určitě poskytuje kvalitní vzdělání. Vzhledem k tomu, že jsem zde byla na praktické stáži, univerzitní prostory jako takové jsem nenavštívila. Komunikace s koordinátorkou pro Erasmus byla velmi dobrá a kdykoliv jsem cokoliv potřebovala, informace jsem dostala obratem.

Universität Heidelberg je najstaršia univerzita v Nemecku a stále má v Nemecku zvučné meno. Najzaujímavejšie pre mňa bolo vidieť, ako veľmi je dodnes prepojená s celým mestom a ako všade prerastá do fungovania inštitúcií aj komunít - Heidelberg ňou priam "dýcha". Ľudia chodia na podujatia organizované študentskými spolkami, obedujú (alebo večerajú) v menzách, navštevujú knižnice a múzeá... Študenti majú dokonca so študentskou kartičkou často zľavu v obchodoch a podnikoch (najviac ma pobavila zľava na kebab :)). Univerzita je rozdelená do viacerých kampusov, ktoré sú rozložené po celom meste, takže človek na ňu narazí "na každom kroku".
