TESTIMONIAL
I was fortunate to have lived and
studied abroad during my first
semester of AY2018/2019. I embarked
on an overseas exchange at VŠB-
Technical University of Ostrava (TUO)
in Ostrava, Czech Republic.
During my overseas exchange at TUO, I enrolled in many foreign friends from all parts of Europe and
modules that challenged my design skills and Asia. The school’s Erasmus Student Network
