Student review [#38227] for Political Science and International Relations
at American University - AU

While studying International Studies/Political Science, I had an incredible experience at AU. Our international studies program is one of the best in the country, and all faculty have at some point applied what they teach. Some of my teachers are former ambassadors, diplomats, NGO workers, researchers and business people who are directly involved in the subject they are currently teaching, which adds a great perspective. The same goes for my SPA (Political Science) teachers. I’m leaving Australia in a year and a half and have a good chance of getting a job in diplomacy, NGO or even media, so I’m very happy with my experience. The only thing I would change is that sometimes our courses are more theoretical. I would have liked to see some of the topics discussed in practice (such as in a classroom simulation), but overall I have learned a lot over the past two and a half years. I am very happy with what I got from AU.
