UNIC Stories

Inspiring stories and testimonials from UNIC students and alumni.

  • Lisa Tscherry
    Human Capital Business Partner for Advisory, PwC Switzerland

    The guidance and expertise of the faculty, coupled with the collaborative spirit among my fellow students, fostered an intellectually stimulating environment that encouraged us to excel. I was able to meet extraordinary individuals from around the world, all driven by their passion and intrinsic motivation for this ground-breaking technology. Not having a technological background, I was eager to make up for it by fully dedicating myself to the course.

  • Lorilee Lippincott

    I am from the US and Canada but live in Thailand, so I searched all over the world for master’s programs that could give me the knowledge and credentials to move into this space. I didn’t find any other program with the wide range of learning included in the MSc in Blockchain and Digital Currency offered by UNIC. When people think of blockchain, they think of tech and coding, but this innovation is far-reaching and requires diverse knowledge and skills beyond coding languages.

  • Rhaam Rozenberg

    When I initially began my Bachelor’s degree I was not exactly sure what path I wanted to follow, the different courses I got to take gave me the chance to discover different varied areas of computer science. Eventually, I found my interest to be in data science, AI, and machine learning. This led me to where I am now. I am really happy with what I have learned and am still learning thanks to some of the great professors that I had along the way. If I was given a chance to do it all again I would do it the same way.

  • Rafaella Georgiou
    Permanent Mission of the Republic of Cyprus to the United Nations

    The knowledge and experiences I acquired as a student at the University definitely shaped me as both an individual and a professional. Due to its geographical position and rich history, Cyprus is a truly unique place, ideal for studying International Relations. Indeed, this has given me a great advantage in my current position, where I get to apply all I have learnt during my studies. I am a very proud UNIC graduate!
