To get the real hands-on experience, to learn new skills while gaining confidence in my own abilities, to practice communication and teamwork skills, to gain industry knowledge from an organization, with space to experiment and apply some of the ideas learned in University and therefore to provide a bridge between academic and professional world with sense of accomplishment by contributing to an organization too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/01\/Picture-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"721\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/01\/Picture-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/01\/Picture-2.jpg 960w, https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/01\/Picture-2-768x577.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/01\/Picture-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"460\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/01\/Picture-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/01\/Picture-3.jpg 460w, https:\/\/blogs.uef.fi\/on-the-move\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/01\/Picture-3-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently I am moving to Iceland for Exchange Program where I will be studying at University of Iceland while working on my Master Thesis.
