​"What I love about the University of Debrecen is the opportunity to have Industrial exposure, because it’s like the grease to the gear of academics. Each time I see how things work in the industrial sphere, it changes my perspective and my thought about the subject matter, it opens me up to new ideas about changing the world through effective water management engineering." (Oluwatuyi, Agricultural Water Management Engineering MSc student from Nigeria)
