My exchange programme at the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Ljubljana, was a truly valuable experience for me. Working in an active research and laboratory environment enabled me to acquire practical technical skills and significantly broaden my academic perspective. The faculty members and staff were very hospitable and supportive; they were always willing to help.
Beyond academic life, Ljubljana is a lively, green and student-friendly city where everything is within easy reach. Exploring Slovenia’s natural beauty and historical sites was one of my favourite pastimes in my spare time.
For future exchange students, my biggest advice is to stay curious, connect with international peers, and take every opportunity to learn both in the lab and around this beautiful country. It was an incredible journey that contributed greatly to both my personal and professional growth.
