“AUA gave me comprehensive knowledge of the business world and prepared me to excel in my future career.”

I graduated from AUA in 2019 with a concentration in Accounting.

When I was first applied to AUA, I thought that I would gain skills in accounting, marketing, effective communication, entrepreneurship, business technology, management, and more. My expectations were entirely fulfilled. Some things I loved about AUA include the opportunity to choose subjects that perfectly match with my career ambitions, the fact that AUA gives students the needed skills and independence to take responsibility for learning, and the professors of AUA who have made a lasting impression and influence in my life.

During my studies, I co-founded a Munich based blockchain startup that deals with tokenizing option contracts. Outside of the classroom, I also played chess (2200+ elo) and read about politics and history. On top of this, I love traveling and have visited 20 countries and counting. I also loved my semester abroad in France, where I studied at the American University of Paris.

My advice to both applicants and first-year students is:
“always create a rough weekly schedule, keep track of important dates, deadlines and challenge yourself, thus avoiding floccinaucinihilipilification.”
