Hello everyone! 

My name is Iryna Andybur, I’m a 21-year-old student from Ukraine, and I’m 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’s 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’ve 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.
