 Hello, my name is Julia Gershfeldt, I'm 21 and they come from Russia and I think it's a cool idea to visit Russia if you like diversity, open people and if you are open for new impressions. I finished my bachelor degree back in Russia in State University High School of Economics, which is considered to be the best economical university in the country and I finished the Faculty of Management, the Specialization Marketing and what I really liked about the university is that it took European model of education which helped me a lot here in my studies. I have always been open to new experience so I decided to go study abroad because I think it's a good combination of cultural challenge and also good education. I'm following the program called pre-mastering communication information science, specialization in business communication and digital media and what I enjoy about this program is the perfect combination of practical and scientific aspects and also lots of exciting group works. If you are a team player and you enjoy both practical and research assignments and moreover your fond of social media, design and creativity, I think this program is worth paying attention to. What I think about the university is that it gives lots of opportunities both in study and leisure time. It has lots of facilities for everything you can imagine and lots of student organization and this is quite helpful both in studies and if you want to start for example your own business and what can be also really appreciated is that the university staff and the professors really speak very good English which I was surprised with and they also have a very rich experience both practical and research experience as for the university staff, administrative staff. They are quite helpful usually though sometimes a bit bureaucratic but I think it's okay. Tilburg is very friendly, it's international students and its biggest advantage I guess is that it's only one hour and a half from Amsterdam but as for social life I think you can find everything necessary here though sometimes it's very calm and small city but this also has a positive effect on your study so that you can focus on it. To get ready for studies here in Tilburg I would advise you first of all to take a careful look at the program itself and the curriculum and to prepare all the documents and everything beforehand especially with advice to pay special attention for the future accommodation but if to say generally I would say that you should be prepared to a new life. As for the famous Netherlands, everyone knows it so well and to find out more you need to visit here yourself so come and you won't regret it.
