WBS has a very good reputation, excellent staff, and of course the brilliant IRRU which is very well-connected to the European Union. Studying with WBS has really improved my ability to think critically and I am going to continue with a PhD here.

I'm also enjoying learning more about the comparative aspect of the different countries. Being at WBS is also a great opportunity to network internationally and explore different cultures within and outside the classroom. I have been abroad before, but never in such an international crowd!
