Semester Exchange Programme

Abhishek Jain

SY B.Com. (Accounting and Finance)

Being in an altogether different country with different culture, behaviour and languages is quite overwhelming. When I heard about the Semester Exchange Program being conducted by S K Somaiya College, I didn’t want to let this opportunity to study one semester abroad go in vain.

I am thankful to IMC University of Applied Science, Krems for providing me with an amazing opportunity. Professors and Students at IMC have helped Foreign Exchange Students to accustom and adapt to their culture to the best of their capacity. The country has been very welcoming. It’s a learning experience that will last for a lifetime.

Krish Shah

SY Bachelor of Business Management

I had the privilege of studying at the IMC University (Austria) under the Semester Exchange program. It is one of the best things that can happen to you in your academic life. The University I studied at is one of the best in Austria and has several standout perks like the possibility of taking subjects from tourism to business, microbiology while also being a university with 3 different campuses.

I studied not only in the also in vintage classrooms that dated back to the 17th century equipped with all the modern amenities, not to mention the mesmerizing campus. The opportunity to be friends with like-minded students from across the globe, the ability to explore cultures and traditions and the chance to visit some of the most beautiful cities in the world are a few extra-curricular benefits that nothing but a semester I am eternally grateful to S K Somaiya College, Satyendra sir, and Muskkan Ma’am for giving me this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity chapter in my life. My time abroad is something that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

SY B.Com. (Accounting & Finance)

I was always very eager to go to foreign lands, far from India, to see the place and experience the food and culture there. It was my dream to go all alone, to stay and study in a totally different and diverse country, and to experience what I had been reading in books and newspapers. When such an opportunity came up from S K Somaiya College, I just grabbed it. My first week in DBHW was absolute fun where there were lot of activities along with studies.

We were taught German language with so many fun filled activities (like city treasure hunts where all clues were in basic German language), that I enjoyed studying in an informal setup with an outside class atmosphere. I met students from 19 different countries with varied backgrounds. The teachers were extremely helpful, very polite and as interested in countries where we had come from, as much as we were interested in knowing more about Germany.To study a subject from a totally different point of view, makes me more analytical and understanding of a different perspective altogether. It is nothing short of a dream come true for me, thanks to S K Somaiya College and their wonderful faculty.

Samyukta Rao

SY B.Com. (Accounting and Finance)

I am thankful for giving me this opportunity to experience the summer semester as an exchange student in the partnered university at Stuttgart ,Germany (DHBW). The University very warmly welcomed us by explaining some facts about Germany along with it’s culture and work ethics. It was initially challenging for us to communicate locally because of the language barrier that we faced. German language being a mandatory course helped us in due course to understand things better.

The staff and teachers at the university really brought us to ease by being cooperative and prompt while answering all our queries. We got to meet people from different parts of the world like Mexico, Turkey, Egypt, Bulgaria, South Korea etc. I already see a change in me as a person and hope that it helps me to become a better person.

Simran Bhor

SY Bachelor of Business Administration (Honours)

Somaiya Vidyavihar University provided me with an opportunity to study abroad for one semester. I completed my spring semester at IMC University of Applied Science, Krems-Austria. Our home university was there for help whenever needed along with the university where I went for my programme. The international office made sure we have no trouble and kept on checking on us.

One quality that attracted me to IMC university was its flexibility in regard to the subjects we wanted to study, we were allowed to take up any subject of our choice. I studied a few subjects from Tourism management, International business and Business Administration.

I thank S K Somaiya and Somaiya Vidyavihar University for providing me with this opportunity and for giving me moral support. Studying abroad gave me a chance to know about a new culture, people, methods of learning and a new country. I’m happy that I could be a part of this program.

Ura Dwivedi

SY Bachelor of Business Administration (Honours)

I pursued semester exchange program at Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt, Germany. The experience so far has been enriching and has widened my business learning with multinational fellow students. I got a broader perspective on international business, communication, and business dynamics with more than 15 economies at a time.

It’s big learning of doing business with cultural differences and similarities. This program also developed my vision for the international business climate for my future endeavours. I am grateful to Somaiya Vidyavihar University for giving me this opportunity.

Vandit Gandhi

SY Bachelor of Business Administration (Honours)

I am very grateful to S K Somaiya College for providing me with this great opportunity. It's been a few months now and I have met a lot of international students here. Interacting with people from all over the world gave me an exposure to different cultures and traditions. This exchange program not only provided me with a different perspective to look at things but also helped me learn a lot of new skills.

The teaching style and approach is very different here and interesting too. It helped me get deep insights into the business array and a vision for the future and what the world holds for it. I gained a lot of new experiences and independence after coming here. Lastly, this exchange semester was a step outside my comfort zone and has proved to be totally worth it.

Yashvi Nagda

M.Com. Business Management (Part II)

My experience through the Student Exchange program has become one of the most influential aspects of my entire life. I studied at Saints Martins University in the USA for the spring semester.

I am so thankful to Somaiya Vidyavihar University for giving me such a fantastic opportunity. I am amazed at how much I can learn just from traveling to another country, knowing their culture and format of studies. The coordinators at S K Somaiya College and my host university have made me feel welcomed and supported. I have grown so much as a person just by taking this step to explore my potential.

I indeed got the opportunity to host a cultural event showcasing the country and talk about our home university, which was a proud moment. I want to encourage all somaiyans to participate in such a program which is an excellent effort by our university to provide the student with a beautiful opportunity to explore the world.

Hally Gala

B.Com. (Financial Market)

I got this great opportunity to participate in a Semester Abroad Program for my final semester in the School of Management at the University of Applied Sciences in Upper Austria. I feel studying abroad is a huge opportunity for personal growth and development.

I developed a new sense of independence and gained new perspectives, while also getting to experience other cultures around the world which educated me to live differently. With getting the chance to experience a completely different study environment, I also got to travel around Europe with my new friends.

Studying abroad in Austria allowed me to glimpse the kind of future I might want to lead.

Apoorv Sinha

B.Com. (Accounting and Finance)

I was selected for the Spring Semester Exchange Program 2020 to Saint Martin's University in Lacey, WA USA. I am very grateful to Somaiya for giving me this opportunity to experience this so early in my growing career.

A beautiful campus and an experienced faculty made my days in the US very memorable. This program has given me hands-on experience about studying in a different country and a very different culture. This will hopefully aid me in fulfilling my dream to study in one of the ivy league schools in the United states for my masters.

Priti Mainkar,

B.Sc. (Computer Science)

My experience in the Spring Exchange Program at University of Technology of Troyes, France was highly educating. I learnt a great deal in the vastly different cultural environment and meeting people from different countries. It taught me to look at things in different perspectives. I am happy and thankful that I was allowed to pursue this journey. My teachers have been very supportive and guided me even when I was miles away.

Throughout my semester I was involved in group projects which helped me realise that people approach problems in various ways. My group projects in courses like Software Engineering and Project Management were extremely educational and offered a hands- on approach on how to design software systems. I could understand the different ways in which the culture of a country affects the structures of their software products. This was a truly heuristic experience.
