Mohamed Hafez, an alumnus from Algebra University moved from Egypt to pursue his Master’s degree. After finishing Digital Marketing, Mohamed stayed in Croatia pursuing his career while also working as a teacher assistant at Algebra.
There are multiple reasons why I chose to study in Croatia. First, because I found the exact type of degree that I wanted to acquire at that time, the curriculum was exactly how I wanted it to be. Second, I knew that Croatia is a beautiful country that has so many things to do and enjoy. Third, maybe because Croatia is not so far from home and also the weather is relatively very good here compared to other European countries.
I didn’t really have any sort of perception prior starting the experience and going to Croatia, I just connected with Algebra and I felt it is the place that suits me, given that it is a very technical and modern school. Even so, I was surprised by how welcoming, supportive and friendly the people here are.
The best things to enjoy as a student in Croatia is the lifestyle, reading a book and drinking a coffee for 3 hours on a great sunny day uptown or enjoying the grocery shopping at the Plac where you can find all the homegrown and homemade products. Making friends is easy and I enjoyed hangouts at the skatepark.
I have stayed in Croatia after my studies because as long as I am having a good experience and I am able to grow personally and professionally then I have no reason to relocate.
I advise international students to prepare, research, and plan well, and discover the potential of the fields they want to study in Croatia, their unique points. Try to learn some Croatian language, the sooner the better in order to get the most out of the experience.
