Biggest Challenges on the Path to Success: Balancing studies and sports. Since I have been professionally involved in sports (football) from the beginning of my studies, it was a big challenge to reconcile my studies and sports, while achieving success in both at the same time. Both sports and studies require maximum dedication, but with a lot of hard work, I succeeded in my goal, which I am especially proud of today. I am also grateful to my professors who always supported me throughout my studies.
How long I was connected with UGD: Four years during my studies.
Why I Chose the Faculty and Program: My desire has always been to study at an economic faculty, to develop myself, and to succeed in the field of finance. I chose the University “Goce Delčev” primarily because of its proximity, as my professional duties as an athlete were in Strumica. However, apart from the proximity, before choosing the faculty, I had heard and read many positive things about it, and today, after completing my studies, I can confirm that it was the best place for me to obtain my education, thanks to all the professors with whom we had excellent cooperation throughout the studies.
The Key Advantage of Studying at UGD: Our dear professors who were always available to us, dedicated professors who always tried to convey the essence of the material we were learning through various examples. As a student during the corona crisis, I would like to highlight the great advantage our faculty had – it was the first and only faculty that immediately adapted and dealt with the challenges brought by the pandemic by organizing online lectures and exams. All planned activities were realized on time, so we, as students, did not feel any negative impact on our education.
Internship at UGD: I completed my internship at ProCredit Bank and the State Market Inspectorate in Strumica.
What Helped Me Most in Developing a Successful Career from UGD Studies: The large number of hybrid events and workshops organized by the faculty during the studies, the dedication of the professors, and the presentations provided by professionals and important figures in the field of finance, such as the governor of the National Bank, the director of Customs, business owners, and successful people who were former students of the same faculty.
Advice for Young Future Students: As a student from a generation that studied during the corona crisis, I would like to advise future students that despite the crisis, our generation succeeded, and it succeeded thanks to our own persistence, desire for knowledge, and continuous self-improvement. Additionally, the dedication of professors to regularly hold lectures ensured that there was no noticeable absence from the faculty. Only through dedication and hard work will you achieve the success that everyone dreams of.
