Beyond Hungarian Waters – Coping and Growing as an International Scholarship Student

Scholarship students from three prestigious universities across two continents—ESMT Berlin, the University of Zurich, and the National University of Singapore (NUS)—will share their personal experiences and insights. In this panel discussion, they will reflect on the challenges and opportunities they expect to encounter during their academic journeys, how they plan to build international networks, and how they anticipate cultural diversity will shape their development. The conversation will explore differences between education systems, the expected realities of daily student life, and how receiving a scholarship is likely to influence their personal growth and professional aspirations. Offering candid, experience-based perspectives, this session will provide a rare glimpse into what it will truly mean to study at a top international university on a scholarship—told firsthand by those about to walk that path.
