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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I am very grateful for all amazing opportunities that RIT Croatia has offered my so far. Even in the challenging COVID-19 times, I’ve had great support in achieving my goals, from doing one of my internships in Antalya, Turkey to getting a J1-visa program scholarship for my internship in the US.

RIT has the amazing offer to study on three continents and get one degree, which drove my decision enroll RIT and I would regret to leave this opportunity behind.

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.

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.
