The first ten-day session involved 80 students from the Zaporizhia region.
– I expect that the University sessions will be filled with interesting events and bright emotions. I am sure that I will be able to learn a lot of new things and determine my professional preferences in order to make an informed choice of my future profession. I have already found friends – the students are very sociable and friendly, – shared Maria from the Zaporizhia region, a participant of the first session.
