LIFE ON VERN'

Studying at VERN' University is much more than just dry learning of theory. Students further develop theoretical knowledge from lectures through project assignments in collaboration with successful companies, thus developing skills for the business world and building relationships. In addition, they have the opportunity to engage in a variety of extracurricular activities - from playing sports through the VERN' Sport program and absorbing cultural content through the VERN' Culture program, to getting involved in student initiatives, organizing various events, attending seminars and workshops, and visiting the most important conferences and business-educational events.
