Tomas Vican

Open-minded, ambitious Marketing Management student who likes good talk over a cup of coffee.

After the realization of the possibility of studying in Denmark, I have been developing my skills from scratch. During my high school studies, I started to improve my English language level which was not great at that time. While working numerous hours in a supermarket and improving my English skills I started to save as much money as possible. I am the type of person who supports myself financially since 18 so at that time the language classes were really expensive for me as a student.

My plan was to improve my language skills and get a summer job in the Netherlands where the working and living opportunities were much better in comparison to Slovakia.

After high school graduation, I packed my backpack and traveled to the Netherlands to fulfill my plans.

It was an eye-opening experience thanks to the foreign environment, zero cooking skills (at that time), and endless working hours.

In the middle of August, I packed my backpack, suitcase, courage and I went to the airport. When I landed in Billund more than a year ago, I knew that my life is going to change completely.

Thanks to the discipline which I gained as a professional football player I managed to reach these goals.

Now as a student of Marketing Management I see myself in this field also thanks to the qualities which I got where I am now - Discipline, hard work, creativity and determination.

I was doing different types of physical jobs through the years such as carpenter, warehouse specialist, food delivery driver, warehouse employee, and warehouse worker, but still I am drawn to the marketing and management field.

After graduating from Business Academy in my hometown in Slovakia, I was admitted to International Business Academy Kolding in Denmark in the field of Marketing and Management.
