Student testimonials

Ramil from Azerbaijan
Graduated from Information and Information Technologies Security programme
When I decided to choose a study program in Cyber Security, I checked a lot of master’s programs throughout the world. My concern was choosing a university that gives practical and theoretical knowledge at the same time, as well as lower tuition fee was the priority. I found VGTU among the top universities in the world, I immediately decided that it can fulfil my expectations. After starting education, I have never regret choosing VGTU because besides the theoretical knowledge I gained a lot practical experience and this education was enough for finding a job in EU at one the of the biggest companies in the world. Personally, my studies taught me to always think independently and use the knowledge I have gained in my future professional career. VGTU teaches us that some of the most important things in life are knowledge, intellectual diversity, and freedom of the speech.
To sum up, I thank our lecturers and professors for putting in all the efforts to groom us and make us corporate professionals. It was a wonderful experience at VGTU. |
