“My academic journey in Hungary started back in 2022. I was proud to become a finalist of the Stipendium Hungaricum Program and a student at one of Hungary’s most prestigious universities, the University of Public Service. Since then, my life has changed profoundly, and many new horizons have opened up to me.
After my graduation, I plan to continue my education in the field of International Studies and Development, as well as strengthen my collaboration with international organisations and institutions. As education plays a crucial role in shaping our lives and building a successful career path, I also intend to pursue a Master’s degree and reach new achievements on a more advanced level.
The Stipendium Hungaricum Program has greatly supported my personal growth and helped me establish lasting connections with people from all around the world. As an Alumni member, I am committed to contributing to the further development of this program by promoting it both internationally and locally, through participation in debates, conferences, public promotions, and collaborative projects.
Hungary has become my second home, and after three years of living here, I can proudly say that I feel comfortable and part of the Hungarian community. As a young representative of a foreign country in Budapest, I see numerous opportunities to make a positive impact. My age allows me to remain open-minded, take initiative, and view mistakes as valuable learning tools for gaining experience.
The public service is becoming increasingly significant as a guarantee of efficient government, social stability, and the defence of the public interest in the face of globalisation and swift sociopolitical changes. This understanding aligns closely with my studies and personal mission, as I aspire to engage in meaningful public and international service.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Stipendium Hungaricum Program for providing me with this invaluable opportunity to pursue my studies in Hungary. This scholarship has not only enabled my academic growth but has also enriched my life through cultural exchange and personal development.”
