Testimonials

Portrait photo of a young man with short blond hair, wearing a black sweater and a white shirt with a collar. He is looking at the camera with a serious expression, against a neutral grey background.

I’m interested in Formula 1 and I know that smart electronics are helping the sport to progress, and the investment in this area is only growing, so the career prospects are broad. That’s why I chose to study Transport Electronics. In my first year, I received a scholarship from Teltonika, and in my fourth year, I visited Japan, where I learned more about technology in the automotive sector.
