Viacheslav Vasilev - alumnus from Lithuania

Why did you apply to us at University West?

• University West offered distance courses which suited my interest
• PTC
• I like Sweden

Why did you apply to The master in Robotics and Automation?

• It is distance – I do prefer studying independently
• One- or two-year study period choice also looked good for me

What is the most exciting you have done during the studies? Tell us about that.

The most exciting experience was on-site, in the Production Technology Centre. It is always fascinating when you see how it works practically with the work you have done.

Why did you choose to apply for a distance learning programme and how has worked to study at a distance?

I prefer studying by myself, but I need my studies to be evaluated and recognized, at the same time.

This is not the first experience of distance studying for me, so it works just great. I sometimes wonder, actually, why distance learning is still not the main and prevailing form of education. Considering available technologies, it definitely should be like this.

Tell us about your future plans?

I would very much like to continue closer to research field, as the programmes subject is of quite wide opportunities for development. But more realistic scenario is working in industrial environment which also appears well. I like to work with hands, I like trying new things and searching for improvements.
