Hello everyone! 

My name is Iryna Andybur, I am a 21-year-old student from Ukraine, and I am excited to be joining the team as a new intern at the Institute for Diversity Studies and International Relations at the Pädagogische Hochschule Steiermark.

Last year, I studied in Graz as an Erasmus student and had a great experience. I was really impressed by the educational system here as well as the beauty of the city. I also met a lot of kind people. That is why, when the opportunity arose, I decided to come back. My goals for this internship are to gain even more valuable experience and develop professional skills.

Currently, I have just started my Master’s degree in Secondary Education (English Language and Foreign Literature) in Ukraine. Languages have been playing a big role in my life, not only English, but also German. I’m happy that I chose this path because it matches my interests and what I enjoy doing.

This winter semester is bound to be another exciting chapter in my life! I look forward to making lasting memories, gaining new knowledge and contributing where I can, while staying in the wonderful city of Graz once again.
