The new academic year, which has just begun, is a joy for Marijampole Higher Education Institution not only because of the increase in the number of enrolments, but also because of the increase in the number of international students arriving. This semester 5 students (Fatma Elbenim, Faruk Duzsoz, Ceren Ünlü, Muhammed Yıldız, Muhammed Samet Boz) from Bingol University in Turkey have already arrived. All of them will study Business English and Communication for half a year. The international students’ first impressions of their arrival in Lithuania are humorous but believable: “It’s beautiful, but a bit cold”. The community of Marijampole Higher Education Institution is delighted with the large number of visitors from Turkish universities, both for study and practice, that it has been receiving for several years. Close relations and excellent cooperation with foreign higher education institutions are maintained and developed by Odeta Gluoksnytė, Head of the Project Activities and International Studies Partnership Department of Marijampole Higher Education Institution, and Darius Nemura, the Manager. We are pleased to see the visible contribution of their work and look forward to the arrival of other students.
