Testimonial Oriana Sánchez

"During my time in Greifswald, I continued working on my thesis and attended different lectures such as Vegetation Ecology, Conservation Genetics and Plant Experimental Biology. Not only did I deepen my theoretical and experimental knowledge during this time, I also grew as a person. If I had to summarise my experience in Greifswald and generally abroad, I would generally say that it was fantastic. So, if you are thinking about going on this trip as well, don't be afraid and start preparing your luggage." (Oriana from Colombia)
