Hello, I’m Nathanael! As one of your course guest instructors, I'm looking forward to guiding you through the steps on the way to your master's application - because I know the challenges you are facing.
After my bachelor’s studies in the USA (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), I came to Germany for my double master’s degree in Political Science and Social Policy (Uni Bremen). I joined the MyGU team after graduating in 2021.
