“I chose UCF because of their engineering program. I’m interested in going into research and UCF has many research projects going on — not just for graduate students, but for undergraduate students, too. That’s not very common at other universities.”

DASHA from Russia

“ Global UCF provides opportunities for you to develop the skills to use not only in your major, but in your entire life. My skills, my personality, my ideas, everything changed. Global UCF helped me figure out who I am and in this process I understood — this is what I needed.”

What do you love most about GLOBAL UCF?

DEEPAK from India

“UCF’s computer science program is one of the strongest in the U.S., so this was the right choice for me. In the Global UCF program, I realized that we all have similar motives and ideas. Our experiences and perspectives might be different, but I felt I could connect with other students. Global UCF did that for me.”

FERNANDO from Mexico

“ We have support in every aspect from the entire team. We get to know the cultures from all of the students in the program. It’s a fun and nice environment for studying and everyday life. I feel like I’m at home. I feel like it’s a family — not a program.”
