I am pleased to inform you that I have graduated with distinction from the University of Tuscia. First of all, I would like to express my deep gratitude to the esteemed Rector Saadat Aliyeva for providing students of our University with the opportunity to participate in such valuable programs. I would also like to thank the staff of the International Relations Department, Elmira Ismayilova and Sevlan Gurbanova, as well as the Rector’s academic advisor, Nushaba Guliyeva, who supported and guided me throughout my studies in Italy - from the initial stage to their successful completion. Today, we see the results of our joint efforts, and this is an achievement we can be proud of. 

At the same time, I am pleased to share that I will continue my academic journey in Italy at the Gabriele d’Annunzio University of Chieti-Pescara within a doctoral program. This new stage is also the result of the strong foundation established through the Dual Degree Program. I believe that our cooperation will continue to strengthen, and that we will create even greater value in the future. 

Once again, I would like to thank you for the opportunities provided to students and express my sincere gratitude for your attention and continuous support. Your support has been one of the driving forces behind my academic success at the University of Tuscia”.
