Zhou Guoting Grace – my whole story

Third-year student, Economics and Management (BSc)

Hello everyone, my name is Grace, I am a final-year Bachelor student at School of Business UCT Prague. My experience with School of Business is just great, joyful and memorable.

The chance to know in detail about the School of Business, Prague and the Czech Republic was due to a project at my university in China. At that time, seven of my classmates and I were fortunate enough to be selected as the first batch of students to participate in the overseas study program. As I have never studied abroad, I was very excited and looking forward to it. In September 2018, we came to the beautiful Prague and began to study at the university for four years.

After the initial joy and excitement dissipated, I realized that my life in a foreign country was no longer comparable to that in China. Without the support of my parents, I needed to take care of my life in a foreign country alone, while also need to take care of my studies. Fortunately, the school is very helpful to international students, and I was able to quickly adapt to the studying abroad. Similarly, the lively and interesting presentation of School of Business teachers in class also made learning less boring.

Low tuition and living costs, high-quality education, and a safe and comfortable living environment allow me to study in Prague with peace of mind, and also reassure my parents. Rigorous and conscientious teachers and well-known school make my graduation diploma highly valuable. As the best engineering university in the Czech Republic, studying business here has really given me both business thinking and technical knowledge, and I am sure that the employment opportunities after graduation will also greatly increase.

In the past four years, my English level has been greatly improved, and I have made many foreign friends. I sincerely feel that choosing UCT for my undergraduate study career was the right decision, which had made my life experience more exciting. The world is big and life is bigger, and my fate with School of Business will continue in the future.
