“I overall truly valued the experience of participating on this programme and feel I have received a huge amount from it, both personally and professionally. Not only am I now a confident Russian speaker with a varied C.V. and valuable work experience, but I have also made some lifelong friends, as well as having had the experience to travel around Russia and its surrounding regions, resulting in some truly unforgettable memories.”

“The program has been a singular and unquestionably beneficial experience for me personally, especially with respect to my legal career. I have advanced professionally and deepened my social contacts in Russia while making what I hope to be long-term friends in the form of fellowship classmates.”
