From 20 February to 20 July, five students of the Pedagogical University’s Faculty of History and Law and 1 PhD student were at the Pázmány Péter Catholic University within the framework of the Erasmus + credit mobility programme.
Within the scope of the exchange programme they had the opportunity to develop their professional skills and to expand learning prospects at the Faculty of Humanities for a whole semester.
The students, who came from Hungary, were speaking about formulating analytical mind, developing an independent research work, setting simple and direct communication with lecturers, independently outlining the course list with excitement and expressing their desire to institute and disseminate that culture among us as well.
The MA student Satik Ghukasyan had heard a lot about the student campuses; with the help of the given programme she was able to feel and live together with her peers under one roof and to continue the learning process outside the University.
“Watching movies in multi-lingual environment, communication with foreigners, joint discussions on a diversity of topics”.
The MA student of History and Law noted in her interview to the old.aspu.am that even though studying foreign languages had got on a new path in the recent years, still it would be way more effective to study several foreign languages at a time, in order to fully eliminate the linguistic obstacle.
For Arevik Hakobyan visiting Hungary and studying at the Catholic University for several months had been a dream. Upon filling in the application form and passing the interview she still couldn’t believe for a long while that she had been granted such a chance.
She actually considered studying in small groups, the chance of carrying out their own research, as well as interactive work with lecturers as the best achievements of Hungarian educational practice.
The ASPU student was happy to notice that the Google classroom that had been introduced at the ASPU actually helped her to get familiarized with the novelties in the Hungarian educational sphere.
Furthermore, the programme was really exceptional for the third year BA student Gayane Vardanyan; she was mostly impressed by the freedom of expression for students at the Pázmány Peter Catholic University.
She was assured that in the sphere of Armenian studies her friends’ and her achievements would be of continuous nature; the interest of the hosting country’s students in the centuries –old culture of Armenia and the traditional cuisine served as a proof therefor.
We would also like to mention that within the scope of the Erasmus+ credit mobility programme five students from the Pázmány Peter Catholic University were passing their studies at the Pedagogical University; likewise, six students from the ASPU Faculty of History and Law including Arpine Arackelyan, Satik Ghukasyan, Gayane Vardanyan, Arevik Hakobyan, Christine Gevorgyan and Vachagan Grigoryan were participating at the mentioned programme.
