I enjoy my stay in Bydgoszcz because it is a nice and beautiful city. There are many green enclaves such as pretty parks and surroundings of the Brda river with lovely swans. Cultural and night life in Bydgoszcz is very attractive and full of interesting events, especially for students. The atmosphere at Kazimierz Wielki University is great. Unlike at other universities, students have personal contact with professors. Polish people are very helpful and hospitable and the International Relations Offi ce take care of incoming students. If you decide to come to Bydgoszcz and study at UKW be ready to have great time and unforgettable experiences.

Studying at Kazimierz Wielki University was a great opportunity for me. I formed amazing friendships that hopefully will last despite the distance, I met extraordinary teachers and had the privilege of being part of their classes! Apart that, I had a great time in Bydgoszcz – it is an awesome town that off ers so much for those who really want to see and experience something new. In general, to be an Erasmus student is a great experience, but I think that being an Erasmus student in Bydgoszcz is the best!

I was on the program of scientifi c training at Kazimierz Wielki University. I had a great opportunity to work at the Institute of Mechanics and Computer Sciences under the guidance of excellent professors. I reviewed the experimental methods and gained knowledge in the fi eld of computer science and mechatronics. I am very grateful for the assistance provided by the International Relations Offi ce. The staff helped me with correspondence with professors, accommodation and visa arrangements and gave me information brochures about the city.I hope I will come back to Bydgoszcz soon.
