On 12 January 2016, Penza State University and Lublin University of Technology (Lublin, Poland) signed an inter-institutional agreement in order to cooperate in exchanging students and staff in the context of Erasmus+ Programme.

Polina Fedotova, third-year student of the Faculty of Economics and Administration was the first PSU student undergoing training in Lublin within Erasmus+. She successfully finished her spring exchange semester at the Faculty of Management (Lublin University of Technology) lasted from February to July 2017.

University courses consisted of individual assignments, lectures and exams. Polina attended the following disciplines: Marketing Research, Stock Market Investments, Microeconomics, Statistics, Integrated Marketing Communications, etc.

“Erasmus+ Programme opened up numerous opportunities for me, such as upgrading professional skills, mastering foreign languages, exploring new cultures, visiting new place. My exchange semester was personally and academically challenging, but interesting. I established close ties and connections in Poland and around Europe”.

The student described Lublin as a place to live and enjoy with its architecture, museums, restaurants, bars and clubs, sports facilities, cinemas and much more. “I strongly recommend studying abroad for a while. Do not think twice, but leave!” Polina emphasised.
