For the last seven years, Algebra Bernays University has been attracting international students who want to make Croatia and Algebra Bernays University their live-and-learn destination from all over the world: the United States of America, Finland, Ukraine, South Africa, India, Germany, Tanzania and Malaysia.
Hello, my name is Iva and I am a freshman in the bachelor programme for 3D design at Algebra Bernays University. As a motivated individual looking for professional and personal growth and development, Algebra Bernays University was the institution that caught my attention from the start. As a potential student, I was assured that the approach will be professional, modules up-to-date and that I will have great possibilities for further development in the desired area.
Although I have only been here for a couple of weeks, I can certainly say that Algebra Bernays University truly fulfils their promises and cares deeply for the students. As an international student moving to a new country I was afraid of the challenges that I would have to face regarding the administrative, social and educational responsibilities. Thankfully I was offered help from the day I arrived in Zagreb. The week before the start of the semester, otherwise known as "International Welcome & Orientation week", was filled with various activities that helped me acclimatize with my new home, acquire and organize the necessary documents needed for my stay, and get to know my new colleagues.
I made new friends, explored the city of Zagreb and got a lot of useful information for my studies and everyday life. In the past few days, I got the chance to meet my professors and get a glimpse of what's to come. The working atmosphere is always pleasant, interesting and welcoming. All of the professors are actively trying to form a close bond with their students and are constantly encouraging them to participate and share their opinions. With their assistance, I firmly believe that I will grow more confident, skilled and knowledgeable. All in all, I'm very pleased with what I've got and can confidently say that Algebra Bernays University is the right place for me. – Iva K., North Macedonia
I chose Algebra Bernays University because I knew I wanted to study Software Engineering abroad. Faced with many choices, I went to an agency. The agency offered Croatia and Algebra Bernays University because this is one of the best tech schools in Croatia and they offer top tier education at favorable amounts of fees. I most definitely received enough and adequate quality support during the admissions process. I could not be more grateful. I would recommend Algebra Bernays University to other people here mostly because it's an amazing school. Lecturers are kind and the best part is they teach in English. Don't get me wrong it's not always rainbows and fairy tales. School gets tough but the lecturers and assistants are always one email away. – Ruvarashe Lydia M., Zimbabwe
When I was choosing a direction for my master’s degree the 2 winning points for Croatia were: location and international programmes. This country is well-known among students in the western world and not only for great parties and beautiful views. I was impressed by the range of international connections and experiences that local universities are offering. It works both ways and the diversity is growing every new year. I thought it would be a great opportunity to study the same subjects from different perspectives, creating a diverse network while having a chance to discover the most beautiful country in the Balkan region. – Elizabeth B., Ukraine
I was very happy when I realized the high quality of education in the study programme that I chose. Most of teachers in my programme are very knowledgeable and I personally believe that some of them are rock stars in their fields. They are also very approachable and some of them go the extra mile and are so readily available to you that I will honestly ask them for advice on time management skills. That is probably the most remarkable feature that I can highlight from my experience as a student, but I was also surprised by the large number of areas covered in my programme. It also motivates me a lot to know that my classmates are very committed to their studies, although it makes sense to find a higher level of commitment in graduate studies. – Luis V., Venezuela
I am from India. We don't have any university that offers game development graduate studies. I was looking for universities across Europe, and I found out that the course I am looking for is offered in Zagreb, Algebra Bernays University. The main factors I chose for education in Croatia is the curriculum is what I got attracted to most and the tuition fee, very affordable. The reason why Europe - rich in culture & people. I feel like I am on another planet, which I don’t want to leave. – Nirupam K. M., India
I didn’t really have any sort of perception prior starting the experience and going to Croatia, I just connected with Algebra and I felt it is the place that suits me, given that it is a very technical and modern school. Even so, I was surprised by how welcoming, supportive and friendly the people here are. – Mohamed H., Egypt
Over the years, we have also established a strong network of international partners so that our students interested in exploring international possibilities can spend a semester or take internship abroad under the Erasmus+ programme. Students can also participate in the annual International Summer School programme .
International Summer School takes place each July at our campus in Zagreb and in another exciting summer location on the coastline in Croatia.
International students can choose between 6 micro-credential from the areas of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, game design, marketing, data science or mobile app development. International students can take the additional Croatian Language and Culture for free! Upon successfully completing International Summer School programme, students will have earned 6 ECTS points for the main programme and an extra 4 ECTS points for the free additional Croatian Language and Culture programme. Students will also receive the official micro-credential certificate, a standalone educational unit recognized by universities and employers worldwide. International Summer School students also have a chance to connect with employers in company visits - exclusive guest lectures hosted by leading global industry players. Our guest lecturers are top business professionals who provide exclusive insight into corporate management and business culture, as well as offer priceless business advice that the International Summer School alumni can later apply in forging their careers. The study experience is enhanced by field trips to locations of cultural or historical significance in Croatia, which means that students from all over the world are immersed in a multicultural experience of discovering Croatia.
What do our International Summer School alumni say:
Living in Croatia was unforgettable. The vibrant culture, beautiful cities, and warm people made the experience enriching and crucial for my career development. – Mohammed, USA
