Alexandru Cohal, a student in the fourth year at the Faculty of Automated Control and Computer Sciences from the “Gheorghe Asachi” Technical University of Iasi (TUIASI), was finalist at the Romanian Students Abroad Gala (RSAG), in the Erasmus section. He was one of the other four students with outstanding academic records and extra-curricular activities abroad. The awarding ceremony was held on the 8th of January in Bucharest.
Alexandru Cohal studied at the Sheffield University (UK) for a semester of the 2013-2014 academic year. He was nominated for excellent academic records in our country and abroad, as well as for the extra-curricular activity as a teacher at the Excellence Centre in Iasi. He teaches Informatics to high school pupils since its first year as a student. Alexandru Cohal is a former participant to the national Olympics and an enthusiast in electronics and informatics since high school.
“As I have greatly enjoyed the time spent as Erasmus student I considered the participation to this gala as a natural outcome and a chance to place myself among those with similar experience. It was also a form to express my appreciation for those helping me during this period – the professors of TUIASI – as well as those in England, alongside my family. For me, the Erasmus experience meant the opportunity to do what I enjoy in a different culture and a different manner. The social side was also important, as I was able to meet students from other cultures and make friends”
