Student life

The life at USUAA is diverse and enthralling, as students have a lot of opportunities to spend their free time. One can choose to devote his/her free time to music or singing, join one of the sports teams.

Furthermore, there are lots of interesting guests (researchers, artists or writers) to meet with at USUAA in public lectures and seminars.

Our students regularly participate in local, regional, national and international competitions and festivals, winning prestigous awards and prizes.

USUAA's students are encouraged to have control over their life, studies and activities at the University, which they do through the Students Council.
