AnaNationality: Croatian

University: University of Tartu

Programme: Semiotics

My love for semiotics and exploring and analyzing signs and meanings is what inspired me to come and study in Estonia in the first place. When I came to study at the University of Tartu, I was amazed by the study enviroment and the organisation of the curiculum  and I want to share my wonderful experience of studying at the University of Tartu and Estonia in general with all the future international students and show them the bright sides of studying in this digitalized, safe and prosperous country. Also, I love Estonia so much and enjoy very much learning and reading about Estonian culture and learning Estonian language. 51ºÚÁÏing in Estonia was my best choice ever and I hope to share that opinion with future students as well.

Nationality: USA

University: University of Tartu

Ashley Vanessa  

Nationality: Jamaican 
University: University of Tartu
Programme: Computer Science

My desire to study artificial intelligence more in-depth, especially as it pertains to medical data, is what motivated me to relocate to Estonia from the other side of the world. Estonia is known for being a tech-forward country where nearly everything can be done online, and I wanted to be part of a culture that embraces technology as a force for good. As a student ambassador, I am excited to share my experiences as a Caribbean student navigating life in Estonia and to encourage others to pursue their dreams in this corner of the earth.
