NOBEL UNIVERSITY
PREP PROGRAM

Anastasiia Fisun

Nobel gave me an opportunity to work on various projects with people from all over the world and encouraged me to think outside of the box. Ukrainian schools often take the approach of students memorizing the material, sometimes without focusing on the broader concepts. Nobel's courses helped me enhance my critical thinking and analytical skills, which I find vital for studying abroad. In addition, the experience of working on an international team improved my English significantly and allowed me to make friends from different parts of the world. Working, studying, and collaborating with people from different cultural backgrounds is essential for your future success. I am very proud of my younger self, who applied for the internship, and grateful for all the opportunities that Nobel offered me! Read more...Show less...

Relocating thousands of miles away from my home country surely has been an experience of proactive learning. It is challenging to relocate to a place where I had never been before. Of course, family friends, youtube videos, and blogs helped me prepare for the nuances of College life. However, they couldn't fully explain how different and demanding it would be. I am grateful that I got the opportunity to study the subject which I am really passionate about i.e. Material Science Engineering. The college experience has really made me understand myself better, taught me the importance of family and friends and above all made me strive for my future career goals.
I have to say Nobel has been the best thing that happened to me when I was in my gap year after high school. I got to learn and practice different responsibilities in Nobel including mentorship, facilitator, theme day organizer, course designing, social media marketing in a year that I feel I wouldn't have gotten a taste of anywhere else. Moreover, I really like the community of international students and colleagues that I got to be part of. Even though the college application process required my own personal nuances and stories for most part of my application, I can certainly say Nobel did help me by providing recommendations and a network of people that I could reach out to whenever I needed help. Also, the responsibilities that I held during my Nobel experience, helped me gain more insights and confidence.Definitely, I would recommend Nobel to anyone who is looking for international exposure, a less-demanding learning experience, fun networking events above all a community that supports you and your initiatives.

Firstly I need to say that got familiar with Nobel due to the Film club📽. I was searching for some new opportunities and figured Film club in one group. Then I decided to try to join the Nobel internship, it was something new for me and I didn't expect anything. I just realized that there were courses that I'd like to participate in so I applied and was waiting for the answer🙂.
However, it came in a really interesting way. Now I'm in love with Nobel, all the people, and activities here🤩. Currently, it's a huge part of my life. I got a new experience that helped me to overcome my fears of pitching to the public and trying something new☺️. In addition, I have lots of international friends here and I'm happy with it🤗. To wrap it up I can add that the Nobel community is more than just an internship, it's a family that always supports you and helps to improve yourself🥰. Read more...Show less...

At first, I had only one reason to join Nobel which is completely different than the reason why I still continue after a year of my internship now. It used to be to find people to chat with in English (i was on the edge of forgetting the language) Even if I find a friend, you know, it is a little awkward to speak your second language with someone with who you share the same mother tongue. It is not as effective as speaking with people that English is your only choice to communicate. But then once I started my journey, I was shocked by the amount of skill I gained even how fast and fun my facilitators did that. I'm way better at doing presentations, speaking in front of people, leading a meeting, giving proper feedback, and working in a team. They don't teach us these soft skills at school. They are the 21st-century competencies! Also since my teammates were from different countries, I got to know new cultures as well as new perspectives... And yes I did improve my English a lot :) Read more...Show less...

I joined Nobel because I am super interested in technology and coding, in which Nobel has multiple courses. I also knew I needed to improve my soft skills in presenting and communicating in teams. since joining, I have met so many cool people and learned a lot about other countries and cultures across the globe. I have grown much more comfortable with speaking with my team members and in front of a large group while also gaining knowledge of technology Read more...Show less...

I joined Nobel looking for opportunities to interact with other students from different cultural backgrounds, as a way to practice my communication skills and improve my teamwork abilities and technological knowledge.
At Nobel, I've met a lot of smart students from different parts of the world, worked to develop soft skills, got more confident when having a conversation in English, and have just joined the automation team, where I'm going to develop some technological knowledge with an amazing team. Also, Nobel is a wonderful way to spend some time in the company of very lovely people. Read more...Show less...
