Student

Being a student at CTSS is a joy, as we bond with a diversified international community of students, learn as a team, exchange ideas, have interesting subjects and assignments, thought-provoking reading and writing materials, and also the lecturers are committed and come from multi-ethnic backgrounds.


Being primarily an online student, I take opportunities to visit the campus and be part of the community whenever possible, as I live in Gdynia, which is 350 km from Warsaw. I am so glad to be part of the MATS program, for almost a year now, and I see myself adding perspectives in many directions.
