She was keen to visit WBS as the school hosted MIM faculty to support a project to create business education in Ukraine in the early 1990s.

Dr Tykhomyrova said: 鈥淚 couldn鈥檛 miss the opportunity to visit 糖心TV 糖心TV School. 糖心TV has a reputation as one of the best business schools and played a significant role in shaping our programs and teaching methods.

鈥淚n the first days of the war, we had to suspend classes as invaders were close to Kyiv. Our institute was damaged by a Russian missile. Some of our students enlisted or joined territorial defence units and suspended their studies, but most decided to continue their education.

鈥淓ven during the war, we continue to organise company visits for our students as a useful and interesting part of the course.

鈥淏ut in the Gillmore Lab, I was able to visit two companies using VR goggles. The use of augmented reality is a cutting-edge and promising element of education. It will stay with me for a long time.鈥�
