Education

This year, first-year Master's students have the opportunity to receive a Grant from the President of the Russian Federation. Daria Skhukhovtseva, a student of the Programme "Governance of science, Technology and Innovation", won the grant and told about when she decided to participate, what achievements helped her to be on the list of winners, and why failures are an incentive to move forward and an opportunity to express herself even more brightly.

An author of these lines got an uneasy task of combining so similar and yet so different thoughts, feelings, memories, opinions and pieces of advice of our amazing group of 4 people that travelled to Berlin last year to study for a double-degree (though everyone had own reasons: get the second diploma, experience the cool life in Berlin, get out of the comfort zone). This article is a must-read for you if you consider becoming a part of this double-degree program. We will try to describe the life and the studies in Berlin as they appeared to us. Let`s dive in this experience.
