My knowledge of marketing, finance, management and related areas has exponentially increased since I enrolled at RIT Croatia. Each course I took gave me infinite possibilities to apply acquired knowledge in everyday and business life. Moreover, this college has helped me become the person I have always wanted to be, helping me to further develop my knowledge and skills. This led me to a position in which employers are looking for me.

As a proud alumnus and an HR professions, I can say that younger generations of RIT Croatia certainly stand out in the way they present themselves to employers, as well as through the knowledge and skills they demonstrate during internships, especially presentation and communication skills. Internships and work experience represent an added value for students as they learn to acquire responsibility and get the real picture of a business environment.

One of the benefits that I enjoy having during my college period is a number of scholarship opportunities. I was a beneficiary of two different ones - the one for high school success and annual merit scholarship recognizing your dedication to your studies and the organization in previous year. For me, it was an additional confirmation that the college goes out if their way to appreciate not only academic excellence, but volunteering and overall contribution to the whole RIT Croatia community.

When it comes to thinking about a career and finding a job after graduation, I had no fear, and I think that’s the goal of this kind of study program. The mandatory internship gives students a unique experience working in the most well-known and best performing IT companies and gives them an edge over the competition.

RIT is an amazing stepping stone into the world of business because students are being taught about professional work habits and practical experience in innovative and creative ways. The job offers that I received before the end of my studies from three different industries show the scope of the program and the value of the practical knowledge we gain before graduating.

During my studies at RIT Croatia, we had a lot of projects, case studies, team works, etc., and it helped me learn to think critically and improve my problem-solving skills, communication skills, and analytical skills. That approach has also instilled in me a strong work ethic, which is crucial in my career development.

If you are still thinking that college is all about studying unnecessary stuff and attending boring lectures, well, probably, you have not yet experienced RIT. The educational program is designed in such a way that all the students are constantly involved in lectures, different discussions, projects and presentations. Not only does it make the academic journey entertaining, but it is also a great way to connect theory with practice. What I like the most is the openness and genuine interest the faculty have in their students` success.

RIT offers an amazing opportunity to study on three continents and get one degree, which drove my decision to enroll at RIT Croatia. I chose to study abroad at RIT Dubai since above all I wanted to explore the culture of the Middle East. I took exciting courses like Arabic language, East-West Encounters and Islamic Culture. I made many interesting connections and visited a lot of places. The campus offers many extracurricular activities like sports, clubs and excursions, which makes it easier to integrate. Getting out of my comfort zone has prepared me for my future career.

Ukrainian student in Croatia - easy! Studying in Croatia has been an incredible journey, and I can confidently say that the Web and Mobile Computing program at this college has truly transformed my programming skills. If you believe college is about mundane lectures, you haven't experienced the vibrant learning environment here. Engaging lectures, interactive discussions, and challenging projects have made learning enjoyable, bridging theory with practice. I am grateful for the enriching experience and the opportunity to thrive in this remarkable academic community.

While studying at RIT Croatia, I did my second internship in Japan in EY. I did my first internship in a financial consortium, called JIAM, that helps source B2B solutions for Japanese asset managers. I wanted to work in an international corporation and gain experience in areas of interest for my career development. Furthermore, an internship in Japan opens up doors for future employment opportunities especially if you are in a company such as EY, one of the global leaders in accountancy and consultancy.

An advantage of studying at RIT Croatia is how the curriculum is organized so that students get a lot of hands-on experience with in-class projects and through the co-op program. They are given a great foundation that allows them to develop themselves and careers in any direction of their choice. During my senior year at RIT Croatia, I started a company and became a co-founder of Enum Software; since then we have been working on many interesting smart city projects such as Dubrovnik Card, Smart Parking Dubrovnik, Dubrovnik Eye, and LibertasApp.

I have always wished to enroll into a college that would offer me an education beyond conventional learning, alongside with exposure to international environment.
