Portrait of Enrique, international student from Mexico

Enrique

Mexico
The visa process seemed overwhelming at first, but the support team walked me through each document. I arrived in Prievidza knowing nobody, but the international student group became my second family. Now I run cooking workshops back home using techniques I learned here.
Portrait of Priya, international student from India

Priya

India
Learning to adapt Indian spice principles with European ingredients opened my eyes to fusion cooking. The small class sizes meant instructors could help me work through cultural cooking differences. I stayed an extra semester to complete the advanced fermentation course.
Portrait of Marcus, international student from Nigeria

Marcus

Nigeria
The practical kitchen training was intense but exactly what I needed. Coming from a business background, I had to learn everything from scratch. The instructors were patient, and by month three, I was creating my own healthy versions of traditional Nigerian dishes.
