King's College London Speciality : Politics
programme: European and International Studies

My programme of study is very interesting in the sense that it touches upon a lot of fields (economics, politics, international relations, war studies). What I like most about the programme is the way it forms you to understand not only how European Institutions work, but also how they relate with the global environment. I do the French pathway so I focus my studies on French politics and foreign policy. I will also have the opportunity to study abroad at one of the best political sciences universities in the world, Sciences Po Paris. The professors and seminar leaders are scholars that have worked with EU institutions and it is so interesting that this type of knowledge is being passed to us. Outside of classes, my programme invites me to societies and events that focus on European institutions, which provides me with the opportunity of networking with deputies and diplomats from around the world. I fully recommend this course as it is very engaging and very future-oriented!

Overall, King’s is a really good university. However, I do believe for some courses it is not academically challenging. Over time you start to realize that going to a university like this one is a lot more for the name than for the education. However, you cannot complain about the campuses as they are all in London hotspots which is something that is irreplaceable.
