I very much liked the interactivity of the teaching. It kept my attention and made the material very interesting and memorable - Miroslava Patleeva

I was quite pleased with the way that the lectures were conducted. They were successful in retaining the students' attention and interest by keeping them involved in a discussion with the lecturer - Merdin Ivanov

Yana Lopatkova shared her impressions:

“I’m glad that I managed to take part in the academic exchange programme and receive an Erasmus+ grant. This is a tremendous experience and an important achievement. Colleagues and students were very warmly welcomed. The topic that we discussed is important in view of the ongoing systemic crises and global challenges, the aggravation of which all countries, corporations and people face. Understanding sustainable trends and vectors is one of the main conditions for making business decisions. The interest and involvement of students in the topic was a pleasant surprise. I express my gratitude to GSEM, International Affairs Office and Zhanna Belyaeva, Programme director, for the opportunity, trust and support!”
