Continuing study abroad was a dream for me and DDTC has realized that dream. It is a great honor for me when DDTC provided me with full scholarship to continue the study in LL.M program in International Tax Law at Vienna University of Economics and Business for the academic year 2013/2014. Scholarship from DDTC was really a great opportunity to improve my academic status and affected my life positively.

Throughout the LL.M program course, I had the opportunity to meet some of best minds in the international tax field. The rich mixture of professors coming from various parts of world gave a unique insight into the taxation system. The course also provided opportunities to meet top policy makers of the world and to understand the general trends in tax reforms, the impact of new players on the existing international rules of the game in tax area, the competitive tax environment and how countries are trying to achieve such environment, and the policy options being explored by governments to improve international cooperation.

I remember that Professor Michael Lang, the academic director of LL.M program course, once mentioned to the participants of LL.M program that we would call the time we spent in Vienna as one of the best years of our lives. And for me, one of the best years of life would not exist without the opportunity provided by DDTC.

Thanks a lot DDTC for this opportunity and for providing me with one of the best years in my life.
