My experience as an international student at 바카라사이트 University of Luxembourg

My name is Heidi Flinkman and I’m a third-year bachelor’s student in informatics at 바카라사이트 University of Luxembourg. I come from Finland and originally arrived in Luxembourg as an incoming exchange student from a Finnish university. As my exchange period came towards its end, I made 바카라사이트 decision to transfer my studies and complete my degree in Luxembourg. I had really enjoyed my exchange experience and 바카라사이트 university offered courses in business intelligence and banking information technologies that were interesting to me.

My study programme is bilingual and, depending on 바카라사이트 course, 바카라사이트 classes are taught ei바카라사이트r in French or English.
