The Study & Internship Program has been, and I suspect will be, one of the best experiences of my life. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity UAS7 gave me and would definitely recommend the program to any open-minded and enthusiastic student.

I have learned more, both about myself and about my future occupation, in the past seven months than I ever would have expected coming into an exchange program.
