Testimonials
One of the best decisions of my life was to study in this Master's program. It has allowed me to study what I like most, which is European and international law in an international atmosphere. The opportunity to learn from your classmates who come from all over the world (Asia, Africa, Europe, America) broadens you not only as a person, but also as a professional. I am sure all the knowledge acquired through the studies in the master's program will help me in my future professional career. Through the LL.M. I have acquired a lot of knowledge regarding European and international law; I have had the opportunity to attend classes of professors who are highly respected lawyers and/or professionals who prepare you extraordinarily well. During the program there is a lot of pressure: classes, seminar, exams... but all this pressure and juggling priorities has helped me learn to organise my time and, most importantly, to be productive under pressure. These are skills which have already greatly benefitted me professionally, and will surely continue to benefit me in the future. Right now, I am in Brussels for an internship at the European Parliament.
I really like the friendly and supportive program coordinators, and of course the talented students coming from more than 36 nations. The program not only broadened my future horizons, but also made me lifelong friendships all over the world. Studying at the Europa-Institut will definitely help your career prospects! Especially those who want to work in European or international legal fields will have a competitive advantage on the job market since this program offers lectures catering to your specific interests and can be customized as desired. I now live in Tokyo and am doing an internship. After that, I am going to work in the field of European tax law, where I can use on a daily basis the knowledge gained in this program.
