Reflections on the EACH programme

Viktoriia Turkina (EACH 2022 graduate of UCBL study-track) gives insight to her EACH journey:

“There are not enough words to express my gratitude for giving me an opportunity to be a part of EACH. The day I received my admission letter I was sure that it would be the life changing experience and I can definitely say it lived up to all my wild expectations.

During these two years I have broaden my world perception enormously, met people across the whole world, shared happiness and difficulties together, found bright or subtle differences and similarities in our cultures.

In the University of Tartu I explored the world of analytical chemistry, theoretically and experimentally filling the gaps in my knowledge in that field. The quality of the courses meet very high standards, where all student questions are patiently and thoroughly explained. Also, the ambiance of the city is incredibly welcoming for international students.

The UCBL program covers several interdisciplinary subjects that give even a bigger picture of the analytical chemistry application and a look at it from a different angle (worth to mention, my favorite course, Data Analysis, is extremely helpful for any career path you can imagine in the contemporary world).  We also got a precious chance to collaborate with industrial partners during our internship.

Along the whole journey besides meeting good friends I was introduced to brilliant people, experts in their fields, who inspired me to continue my career path with a PhD. I am looking forward to the following 4 year journey at the University of Amsterdam.”
