What the students say about the program:
"Being a student in Central European University, as a Roma Access Participant, allowed me to experience life and make friendship with people from all over the world. On the other hand, this program improved my English skills and knowledge about academic side of studying abroad. Overall it helped me to have much more real chances to do postgraduate studies in international universities, otherwise this wouldn’t be possible for me. "
