“Why is it good to study at the Polytechnic “Nikola tesla” in Gospić?
The answer is simple: the excellence of the lectures can be seen by the attention that is paid to the practical application of knowledge in addition to the theoretical part, and as a result we have examples of students who are very successful in their further education and in the achievement of great goals. In addition to the aforementioned, the Polytechnic “Nikola Tesla” in Gospić can be an example for other institutions where students, along with their university obligations, can spend their free time learning through seminars, they can engage in various humanitarian campaigns, participate in sports activities and similar. I also take the opportunity to use myself, a scholarship student, as an example – Winner of the Dean’s award for the second time, winner of the city’s recognition for achievements in higher education and as the President of the Student Choir, I also have the honor to work for Dejan Lovren at Joel Hotel in Novalja. With the recognized quality, I want to continue down this path with hopes that I can return to my home university one day and be a part of the team that will lead Polytechnic to be the number one choice for every student.”

“Uvijek se rado prisjećam studentskih dana na Veleučilištu “Nikola Tesla” u Gospiću. Stručni predavači i dinamična predavanja bila su kvalitetna podloga za nastavak studija.”

Zašto je dobro studirati na Velegs?
Iz jednostavnih razloga : izvrsnost predavanja ogleda se da pored teoretskog dijela velika pozornost polaže se na praktičnu primjenu znanja, i kao rezultat imamo primjere studenata koji su vrlo uspješni u daljnjem školovanju i ostvarivanju velikih ciljeva. Uz navedeno Veleučilište “Nikola Tesla” u Gospiću može biti na primjer ostalim učilištima, gdje student uz fakultetske obveze može svoje slobodno vrijeme iskoristiti za učenje kroz seminare, uključiti se u razne humanitarne akcije, sudjelovati u sportskim aktivnostima i slično.
Nadalje uzimam sebe kao primjer stipendirane studentice, dobitnice Dekanove nagrade po drugi puta, dobitnice priznanja grada Gospića za postignute rezultate u visokoškolskom obrazovanju te kao predsjednice Studentskog zbora imam čast raditi za Dejana Lovrena u Joel hotelu u Novalji.
Uz prepoznati kvalitet želim nastaviti ovim putem i jednog dana vratiti se na svoje matično učilište i biti dio tima koje će u budućnosti dovesti Veleučilište do izbora broj jedan za svakog studenta.

“Studiranje na Veleučilištu “Nikola Tesla” u Gospiću za mene predstavlja najvažnije razdoblje u životu, zbog toga jer mi je pruženo kvalitetno i cjeloživotno obrazovanje s kojim sam stekla znanja i kompetencije koji su mi bili temelj u mom daljnjem napredovanju i školovanju na Veleučilištu u Rijeci. Posebno se želim zahvaliti predavačima Veleučilišta “Nikola Tesla” u Gospiću, na njihovoj stručnosti i profesionalnosti te odličnoj suradnji s nama studentima, a isto tako se želim zahvaliti prekrasnim djelatnicima referade i knjižnice uz koje smo lakše rješavali studentske obaveze.”

“Uz razne aktivnosti i projekte, naglasila bih i profesionalnu komunikaciju između profesora i studenata te iznimno motivirane i stručne profesore. Nemojte se iznenaditi ako ste na Veleučilište krenuli kao jedna osoba, a završili ga kao druga i bolja”
