My CEEPUS Journey: A Month of Academic and Cultural Discovery in Pécs (by Natalia Kowerek, first-year Master’s student in Global Studies)
When I first learned about the CEEPUS program – the Central European Exchange Program for University Studies – I saw it as a great academic opportunity. This was my second Ceepus mobility. The first time I went to Ljubljana, Slovenia, for a month, and each of these trips was unique in its own way and enriched my academic and personal development. I never imagined, though, just how transformative a one-month stay in Pécs, Hungary, would become.
Living in Pécs, a city steeped in historical and cultural heritage, added a whole new dimension to my stay. I joined a lot of international student events, including a memorable Country Presentation on Bangladesh organized by the Erasmus Student Network (ESN).
