Programme Review
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
It is a multidisciplinary programme and the quality of the classes are fine. It also depends on the level of student engagement, but it provides opportunities for efficient learning.
EU Studies rather than European Studies
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
In general, it is right place to explore more on European Union and its policy areas
