I have had the opprotunity to study in Sweden. SLU is an excellent study environment. I have done the master programme in Environmental Communication and Management. I have really enjoyed taking part in field studies and doing group projects. All the courses I have taken have had a strong research element and found the application in my research work. During my study I have had the opprotunity to participate in International Conference on Communication and Environment organized by SLU. Whatdidthisexperience mean toyou (academically, personally, profesionaly, etc)? The best thing I have experienced so far in my life has definitely been studying abroad. I like the fact that so many resources are put towards education. There really is so much support for students. The professors are always on hand for the students to help them and enrich their university life. My classes are so multicultural and I have had the opportunity to study alongside people from all over the world. Howwouldyou describe theimpact of yourmobility at your home country? During writing the research work I had the opportunity to do fieldwork in my country, Kazakhstan. Since the program Environmental Communication and Management is comparatively new for Kazakhstan, my home university has helped me a lot with the organization of my work so that I get the chance to put the theory into practice and to learn from the real life. Finda phrasethatwould describe yourexperience: A great and worthy experience!
