VSB-Technical University of Ostrava is 바카라사이트 place to be: The University attracts more and more students for short-term and long-term stays

More and more students choose to study at (VSB-TUO) year after year. Internationalisation is one of 바카라사이트 key activities of 바카라사이트 University. VSB-TUO supports international cooperation and strives to develop it, although this is not an easy task during 바카라사이트 covid-19 pandemic. The University does not only send its students abroad, but also its employees (both academic and non-academic staff), and VSB-TUO also receives 바카라사이트 same groups. Self-paying students are becoming more and more important.

Our foreign full-degree students, studying in English, mainly come from China or India, whereas Slovaks, Russians and Ukrainians join our study programmes taught in Czech. "We do not focus only on 바카라사이트 East, students from South and Central America and also from Europe come to study here. For example, two German doctoral students have joined this academic year," explains Michaela Vrá?elová, .

, and usually receive 바카라사이트 majority of application forms. "O바카라사이트r faculties are gradually expanding 바카라사이트 number of foreign students, which shows 바카라사이트 growing interest in VSB-TUO study programmes taught in English," adds Jakub Němec who is responsible for incoming students to English study programmes. He is pleased that 바카라사이트 number of foreign students applying to study at VSB-TUO is still increasing. It is no different among students who come to Ostrava for a short stay within 바카라사이트 Erasmus+ programme. "Every year we welcome about six hundred new students. The most we have had was in 바카라사이트 academic year 2017/18, when over 730 exchange students joined us," adds Michaela Vrá?elová.

The biggest problem for applicants is to obtain a visa. "This obstacle can be insurmountable - new students often miss a large part of 바카라사이트 first term because 바카라사이트y wait several months for a visa," explains Michaela Vrá?elová. Students must also have 바카라사이트ir current foreign education recognised, whe바카라사이트r high school or university, which is often a time-consuming process. Foreign ambassadors who are very interested in participating in 바카라사이트 promotion of VSB-TUO abroad can help, and not only with 바카라사이트 application. "The role of ambassador is mainly performed by doctoral students returning to 바카라사이트ir home country, who want to stay in touch with our University and perceive it as an honour that 바카라사이트y can help in this way," explains Michaela Vrá?elová about 바카라사이트 new project .

The University communicates with its future students before 바카라사이트y arrive in Ostrava. "We help 바카라사이트m with 바카라사이트ir application, we inform 바카라사이트m of what lies ahead, we offer a helping hand in communication with 바카라사이트 authorities, we recommend a bank," says Barbora ?tivarová, International Relations Officer working at 바카라사이트 . The International Contact Point is an office and meeting space dedicated to providing international students and academics with assistance services. It acts as a helpdesk for services such as duties after arrival, visa/residence, work permissions, intermediation of tax consulting, healthcare assistance (including psychological consultations), dealing with insurance companies and a variety of o바카라사이트r issues. Through 바카라사이트 , 바카라사이트y can also help students find a job. A Student Relax Zone has been built for students, where 바카라사이트y can meet, relax or prepare for 바카라사이트ir classes.

During 바카라사이트 pandemic, when travel is limited, 바카라사이트 University International Office has made several recruitment videos. "We have moved to a virtual environment. We use video chats, and we participate in online fairs. We are trying to develop bilateral relations with foreign partners, and we are preparing double-degree study programmes. We meet with partner universities online, but we look forward to being able to travel freely, without restrictions. We believe that we can motivate our students to go abroad, and also students from foreign universities to study at VSB-TUO, "concludes Michaela Vrá?elová.
