Describe your journey to Faculty of Pharmacy
It all started with my love for science and the idea of helping people—plus, wearing a lab coat felt like a bonus. After finishing high school, I spent a lot of time researching universities. Masaryk’s Faculty of Pharmacy stood out for its strong reputation, and Brno had a unique charm that just clicked with me. So here I am—pursuing my passion and learning something new every day.

What do you like about your studies?
The labs are engaging, the professors are incredibly knowledgeable, and each subject makes me feel like I’m getting closer to becoming a real professional in the field. It’s challenging in the best way.

What difficulties have you encountered before or after moving to Brno?
Czech is definitely a challenging language, especially at the beginning. But the large community of international students here made the transition so much easier. You’re never alone in trying to figure things out, and that makes a huge difference.

What advice would you give to new students?
Connect with others—especially classmates who are going through the same things. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, even if they seem basic. And most importantly, take things one step at a time. This journey is a marathon, not a sprint.
