An opportunity to study abroad during the BA or MA or PhD study is a valuable opportunity not to be missed. It is not only the opportunity to gain new knowledge in an academic society different from Croatian, but it is also an opportunity to learn about a different country and its people, different culture, and to make lifelong friendships. For many, that experience was crucial for their careers.

This online panel will give you an insight in what it is like to study and do academic research in the USA. The three Croatian scholars will share their experiences.
