Winter Study Abroad Programs in Croatia

I had the pleasure to travel to Sibenik, Croatia Summer of 2022. I came across this program through a school program at UT Austin and my application process was a bit different than most people who go on this experience. I do believe it was an easier application process but the experience I think was the equivalent to any other program. Our site manager, Ena, was so thoughtful and attentive to our needs. Although a bit chaotic, the hospital was open to teaching us about their day-to-day lives. On top of the great shadowing experience, we also got to wander the small town of Sibenik and interact with the sweet locals. Our weekend excursions planned by Ena were something to look forward to because it was a day filled with fun activities and yummy food. Overall, all my interactions with the Atlantis program have been positive and I am thankful I had the chance to partake in such an amazing trip.

I was pleased with the Cyber Security course. Professor Robert always amazed me by demonstrating the applications of cyber security which I had never explored before! The best part of the course were the company visits which bridged the gap between the practical and the theorical knowledge in real life scenarios. The Cyber Security course enhanced my knowledge to a great extent!

I really enjoyed studying, interacting with different technologies, programming languages, attacks, the pathway to becoming IT professional in cyber security. I loved the workshops, company visits. I highly recommend it, it's a whole new different world here.

I expected practical knowledge, my idea was to learn how to contribute and do something with my own hands. The quality of teaching was spectacular. Classes are small so the professor could help us in any moment. We got to visit 2 cities, and emerge ourselves to Croatian culture.

In the course you learn all the basics you need to know about cyber security and it gives you an idea of how hackers operate and what to do to prevent their attacks. I'm finally starting to understand how hackers hack. :)
