Graduate of the Programme
During my studies in international politics, I became acquainted with the most important geopolitical and economic trends in the world, Europe and Asia. In addition, it was an opportunity not only to deepen knowledge, but also a great opportunity to meet and communicate directly with individuals who are true professionals in their field. I can say that it has affected my personality and career. I am glad to have chosen these studies.
Graduate of the Programme
Factual knowledge is necessary to substantiate each theory. Therefore, I decided to study International Politics. It enabled me to realize my desire to delve into political theories, and political philosophy. I was able to supplement my factual knowledge of international institutions, the culture and history of the Asian region, and the principles of international law. Therefore, I would say this study programme an excellent balance of theory and fact.
