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
