Great Experience in AATP double degree programme!
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
The interactive methods of teaching motivate me to study better and invest more time and energy to learning and researching. Besides, gaining knowledge based both on practice and theory, I could start my little business and decide what I want to study next in my master degree.

Great Master studies
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
The university is really great. During my studies I learned really a lot in the European and domestic law. All the readers was recognized and highly motivated. Particularly the possibility to join in their research was a great experience! Unfortunately the university has very limited access to continuing PhD studies.
