“ UoP had a very clear idea of what they wanted form the mobility, which was great, since it lead to an extensive and fruitful program. I spent my mornings at the International Relations office, where we completed an ICM application and started discussing two different CBHE projects. In the afternoons I got to visit the different faculties and departments at UoP, as well as post-graduate institutes of Science, and Humanities and Social Sciences. In this short time I feel that I have seen and learned everything about UoP that I could possibly have askedfor.. ”

“ "The two weeks that I spent at the University of Peradeniya, with funding through the European Erasmus programme, was by far the best growth experience that have had in years. I was particularly impressed with the university community who, I found, to be extremely welcoming, who could work constructively together, and were so open-minded, even as I taught a course on Leadership, through a rather different approach. The natural surroundings of the campus, plus the wonderfully warm people, made this experience truly a joy. It would be my pleasure to come back at anytime."”

“ The Hokkaido University Short-Term Exchange Program (HUSTEP) was an amazing opportunity for me to study abroad and experience life in Japan. One of the best things about the program was the great exposure to international friends from all over the world. During my time at HUSTEP, I had classmates from various countries such as Russia, Germany, the USA, South Korea, Kenya, the UK, and many more. I enjoyed getting to know them, learning about their cultures, and practising my language skills with them. It was truly an eye-opening experience to see the diverse perspectives and backgrounds that everyone brought to the classroom..”
