Student reviews of the course
  • Aino Amanda Anttila | Student Social Sciences
    "The international nature made our discussions far more interesting and thought-provoking, and I believe that has made us more inclusive and understanding of one another."
  • Pooja Thomas | Student Social Sciences
    "It's the programme environment that makes it worth it. This level of diversity (of thoughts, opinions and jokes!) is very difficult to find at any other university."
  • Jozefien Maria Dierynck | Alumna Social Sciences
    "The professors are great and always available for discussion or to answer specific questions. I am still delighted with the choice I made three years ago and would definitely recommend it!"
