Interview

Breda Zorec in their own words.

Why this course?

“I work in Ptuj, so being close to Maribor mattered. I am also a firm believer in studying in person. And it was crucial that the lecturers come from practice. That proved extremely useful.”

Work placement

“What impressed me most were the site visits. Alongside the specialist subjects we were able to see real projects, such as the visit to the Karavanke tunnel. Seeing a tunnel being built in practice is something special.”

Lecturers

“I had already completed one course before, so I can compare. The difference is obvious. Here the lecturers from practice take a concrete approach. They explain how things work in the real world, not just on paper.”

Advice for prospective students

“Work as you go. Sit the examination straight after each block of lectures. If you let your obligations pile up, it becomes much harder. Keeping up is the key.”
