EGM EXPO took place in the atrium of University of Split’s Three Faculties Building - one of key events aimed at connecting students, universities and organizations from all of Europe.
Exhibitors includes Croatian and European university representatives such as UNIDU, UNICATH, UNIKNIN, UNIOS, UNIZD, UNIZG and UNIST, as well as international institutions such as College of Europe, as well as organizations and companies such as Office for NGOs, Coca-Cola HBC, ESN Croatia, numerous European ESN associations, Club Zone and YES-Trips.
University representatives quickly agreed on one thing - student interest was more than good, and the stands brimming with curious questions about exchanges, studies and life in other cities.
College of Europe attracted special attention, presenting students with its one-year master's programs in the field of European studies, from economics to international relations. A bonus that caught the eye of many? Possibility of full scholarships for Croatian students.
- We came to Split to present our three campuses. We offer various one-year master's programs in the field of European studies; economics, political science, international relations, law, interdisciplinary studies and integration. The campuses are in Belgium, Poland and Tirana. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience, both in Split and at EXPO - representatives said.
One Erasmus student, who is spending her winter semester in Split, did not hide her enthusiasm. - I have been in Split since January and I am very enthusiastic about the city. I recommend everyone to come. We talked to a lot of students about their plans for Erasmus and I can say that there are a lot of people interested in Split. They really like the city.
In addition to exchanges and studying, EXPO also had a "real life" component - work. Companies and organizations presented opportunities for internships, volunteering and first career steps.
Coca-Cola HBC Adria came with a specific offer.
- As Coca-Cola HBC Adria, we are pleased to be here. We are currently in the phase of developing Erasmus+ program, which will offer foreign students the opportunity to do a short internship, usually lasting 3 to 12 months. Those internships are carried out in different departments: finance, marketing, supply chain, logistics... - they said.
