I completed the MIT master's program at Westsächsische Hochschule Zwickau between October 2023 and January 2026. It was one of the most unique experiences of my life. What makes this degree apart is the combination of Information Technology and Management, a blend that feels both practical and forward-thinking. The professors brought deep expertise and multicultural backgrounds into every session, and the teaching methods were flexible enough to meet the demands of modern education.

One of the program's exceptional features is the third semester abroad at a partner university. In my case, that was the Armenian State University of Economics (ASUE) in Yerevan. That period left a lasting impression on me. I discovered a new culture, explored a country I had never imagined visiting, and shared classroom spaces with students from across the world.

Beyond the academic experience, Zwickau itself became my home for three years. It is a welcoming city with everything a student needs: green parks, cinemas, local events, affordable shops, easy access to larger cities like Dresden and Leipzig, and a community that is not indifferent to newcomers. I built friendships there with people from many different countries that too, was part of education and integration.

As an alumnus, I carry real gratitude for what WHZ offered me. This degree did not just add a credential to my name; it gave me the confidence to enter the professional world and the tools to grow within it.
