My overall experience was challenging! I study a Master in development at the International Institute of Social Studies. The Master excelled my expectations with intensive learning, lecturers, tasks and the content professors delivered. The lessons were completely related to the academic jobs, and the courses open my panorama. However, the program made me re-evaluate my career. I learned about policy analysis, value chains, local development. But, I did not learn technical skills, which are highly demanded for companies, NGO’s and Governments. The institute is very research-oriented and students do not have access to practical experiences.

I loved everything about my University. EUR was a wonderful place to be even though I spent all my time in The Hague where my faculty was located as the International Institute of Social Studies(ISS). There was a very unique academic atmosphere. The faculty was amazing and world-class experience of it was amazing. The atmosphere is very international as well. I’ve graduated with students from 55 different nationalities. I’d definitely recommend to anyone who’s willing to expand their horizon and network.
