UNYP seniors talk about
their plans after graduation
It is that time of year
again. The time when UNYP seniors prepare to say goodbye to Legerova 72 and
start looking for their place in the adult world. Their plans range from
earning more degrees to opening their own businesses. And a number of students
are still undecided about their future.
Tibor Rujder, a Business
Administration student from the Czech Republic, has a well-developed plan for
the continuation of his studies. He is going to King’s College in London to
study for an MSc in finance. “London is my choice because of the variety of
people I will meet as well as the good reputation of King’s College, which is
among the top 30 universities in the world,” Rujder says. After finishing the
program, he plans to work for several years and later pursue a master’s degree
in business administration. “I see this combination as a very strong base for
my future employment, and it will also provide me with high-quality knowledge
for my own future business,” Rujder concludes.
Michaela Baginova, a
Communication and Mass Media student from the Slovak Republic, is planning to
enter the Master of Fine Arts program at Academy of Art University in San
Francisco, and study either Motion Pictures and TV or Acting. “Since I am very
interested in music and movies, my career goal is to work in the entertainment
industry,” Baginova says.
Tereza Grubrová, a Psychology
student from the Czech Republic with a certificate in International Relations,
is planning to get her master’s degree in clinical and counseling psychology
from LaSalle University in Prague. “The program is offered through UNYP, so I
can be in the same environment that I’m used to, and at the same time get a
respected degree in something that I love,” Grubrová says. Since classes are
held on weekends, she is planning to work in the meantime, preferably in the
field of psychology. Grubrová added: “I definitely believe it will help me get
a job in the future. And the great thing is that it is so specifically
oriented; therefore, I can go straight to work as a clinical
psychologist/counselor.”
Sanja Ilić from Croatia, a
Communication and Mass Media student, is changing the direction of her
interests slightly. Although she studied media for four years, she sees herself
in the future as a successful event planner. To help achieve her goal, she
hopes to be adequately educated in Event Planning Specialization at Istituto Europeo di Design in Barcelona.
Still, her ambitions reach above that. “The specialization, as well as
improving my Spanish, are for now my number-one goals,” she says. “However, in
the near future I would like to apply to the IED Barcelona master’s program in
Web 2.0: Design, Communication, Marketing and Advertising.”
Olga Danyukova, a Russian
student double-majoring in Business Administration and International Economic
Relations, has less specific plans for the future. Still in doubt whether to
work for some time or immediately apply for a master’s degree, Danyukova
mentions her preferred future school, one famous for launching people to the
highest positions in widely known companies. “The ESB Business School in
Reutlingen, Germany offers a combination of studying abroad and practical use
of knowledge,” she says. For now, she gives the advantage to a job, believing
the experience is an important factor for future managers.
Maya Humbatova, a student
from Azerbaijan, also double-majoring in International Economic Relations and
Business Administration, is planning to continue her studies by applying for a
master’s degree in international business at the University of Economics in
Prague. Relying on her personal motivation as the greatest ambition in the
future, Humbatova says, “I think a master’s degree will help me in my future
career, where I see myself working in the renewable energy industry or
sustainability consulting business.”
Vivienne Strelecka, a Slovak
student of Communication and Mass Media, has decided to continue studying in
her field. “I applied to the master’s program at Charles University, where I am
hoping to advance my knowledge in media studies after passing the entrance exam
in June,” she says. When it comes to finding a job, Strelecka has her options
wide-open, hoping to increase her possibilities after receiving an advanced
degree.
Another Communication and
Mass Media student, Andreas Stylianou from Cyprus, has quite different plans.
“I am planning to open a tavern offering Cypriot specialties highly influenced
by Greek, Turkish, Lebanese, Italian, French and African tastes, flavors and
aromas,” he says. When it comes to the continuation of studies, he is thinking
of applying for a master’s degree in one of his areas of interest, such as
sociology, anthropology, music conducting, public relations or political
communication. He adds: “My career goal is to be happy in everything I do, so I
can do it well. I want to contribute to the community and help
the next generation have a better social template to start with.”
UNYP students are officially
graduating on Saturday, June 23 in a ceremony starting at 5 p.m. at Palác
Žofín. After the usual speeches, graduates will receive letters of
acknowledgment and then symbolically move the tassels on their caps from left
to right before throwing the caps in the air, marking the end of their UNYP
studies.
The graduation party will
follow in the evening at Občanská Plovárna, where graduates will be able to
celebrate with their friends. The party is being organized by Šimon Pavúk, event
manager at Student Zone Prague.
Good luck to all of U, guys :))
