Moroccan students in Poland: how it is to study at UITM

Adam, Yassir, Oussama, Adane and Ahmed are UITM students from Morroco. All of them were looking for better education and as a result a better opportunity in the labour market. It is very common willing of young people, but there is another question – why Poland and UITM? Let’s ask them. 

– I did some research on where I can pursue my passion for IT and finally, I  found UITM – Yassir shared his story. – The course was very attractive and showed a lot of benefits which made my decision very easy. Ahmen also shared his opinion and agreed, that UITM does offer the opportunity to study Aviation at a much lower price compared to other regions. – Additionally, Rzeszow is a great environment to live in and is a very student-oriented place.

But not only researches and UITM advantages were the main reason, why they came to Rzeszów. –  I was advised by a family member to come to Poland – said Oussama, – specifically UITM, as I’ve been there before. I made my choice from this, accompanied by the low cost of living and as previously mentioned – the high quality of education. But I also have to mention the international atmosphere of the university and the opportunity to meet people from all across the world. 

– Yes, that is why I don’t regret my decision to come to UITM, as the university offers a multicultural background which helps me to feel comfortable and like I’m home. And it is very important for foreign students – added Adam. 

Adnane recalls his first day very precisely: – I remember I’ve noticed how diverse and different people were there, compared to Morocco. And it was so exciting. I had my friend Mohammed, who helped me get around and took me to the International Office, where I solved all the formalities. It was really great feeling to understand that I am finally a UITM student now, and there will be a lot of opportunities and challenges in front of me. 

It is their first year at UITM, but they are ready to study hard and face all the callings:

Adam: I chose IT and Programming as it lets me find a job anywhere in the world I want. Currently, I’m thinking on a year by year basis and taking it one step at a time. I am focusing on my studies to help me graduate and have a good prospect for employment, especially in the rapidly growing industries in Poland.

Yassir: I’m also taking it year by year, but I know what my future holds. As I mentioned before I did research on the university and my course, so I know that I will be able to have a great professional career anywhere I wish to go.

Oussama: UITM gave me the chance for an international diploma which will let me work anywhere I wish. This is a great opportunity as you can’t get this kind of opportunity in Morocco, but as my friends have stated I just need to think about my studies first. 

Adnane: Coming to Rzeszow was very spontaneous, but like ‘every Morrocan child dreams’ – to expanding out and see the world. I’m already realizing this dream and hope to continue to grow professionally in Europe.

Ahmed: The UITM international diploma will allow me to go back to Morocco and earn a higher position, as it is a degree many locals will not possess and I will come back with a bigger scope of knowledge. I am sure that thanks to UITM I will be a young highly qualified professional for the growing English-speaking industry of Morocco.
