The course of International Relations

GIPA offers one of the best, if not the best, IR courses in the whole country. In my first year, I used to think that it was not anything special, but over time, I realized how important everything we learn is. The professors are really friendly and they are always on the students' side. The subjects that the course offers are very interesting and engaging, all of them give you the theoretical and practical bases to further develop your critical thinking. The only negative thing about this course is that the campus is very far away from the city center.
