MSc. Global Economy from University of Glasgow, UK

Ph.D candidate in Economic and Social History at University of Glasgow, UK

My time studying at UIC was the most significant period of growth and change for me. From the excitement and curiosity of my first day on campus to the confident anticipation of the future at graduation, UIC was not just a place of learning; it was also a crucible for self-discovery and pushing my limits.

I remember in the Applied Economics courses, each instance of data analysis and economic modeling was not just about skill training but an in-depth exploration of real-world issues. Through case studies, I gradually understood the connection between economic theories and their practical applications. Discussions in class often sparked new thoughts, and this academic atmosphere greatly stimulated my critical thinking and innovative abilities.

These challenges and experiences became the driving force for my continual advancement. My four years at university not only equipped me with knowledge and skills, but more importantly, they taught me how to find my place in an ever-changing world and to courageously pursue my dreams.
