BAOvidius University
- Constanța, Romania
Due to outstanding academic performance, I was exempted from the tuition fee all 3 years. I studied subjects such Contemporary English and Italian languages, literature and cultures.
I was the best at the Translation Studies, being very passionate about words origins in a language (etymology).
My written thesis was on Italian grammar topic, Le forme pronominali allocutive (The forms of the pronouns that we use when addressing to someone) which was marked with 8,75 out of 10.00.
Since the graduation I improved considerably my linguistic skills, especially since relocating to UK.
