Testimonials

Young man with short dark hair, wearing a white striped shirt, looking at the camera with a slight smile, against a gray background.

Mechatronics studies offer a unique opportunity to combine practical skills, theoretical knowledge and general competences. During my studies, I had the opportunity to go on an exchange programme to Chung-Ang University in South Korea, where I was able to get a different perspective on these studies. This programme is for curious and adventurous people who want to explore new technologies.
